[Dixielandjazz] Flying

[Edwin Stoddard]

Does anybody remember  some pronouncement by the government or the airlines 
that musicians should continue (post 9-1-1) to be allowed to carry on 
instruments to prevent their being trashed while checked?  I'm getting ready 
to take a couple of trips to play & was thinking a copy of same might help 
me avoid arguing with unsympathetic airline personnel.  My instrument is 
bone (hard case.

My brother thought he remembered some discussion here, so I checked a lot of 
forum archives but failed to find anything.

Thanks for the help.
