Here's the letter:

Please note - this letter only gets you through TSA - the airline can make its own decisions on what to allow on the flight.
Make sure to remove reed knives (if you use them), screwdrivers, and bottles of liquid (leave the key oil at home). Most TSA screeners will know that you're allowed to take your instrument. I didn't have any problem going through TSA with my double case, but it's a good idea to print out the letter and take it along - you never know.
You are allowed both your instrument AND a carry-on.
As for the gate, I agree with Ed: Just sling it on your back and walk on. If it becomes a problem on board, stay calm and ask questions, don't boss.
Good luck, and have a safe trip!
