In 2007 I was flying back to BWI from Denver with a Manfrotto 3021PRO tripod and a ThinkTank Urban Disguise 60. The check-in agent informed me that I would not be able to carry the tripod on. I simply told him that I didn't have any problem carrying it on the flight to Denver, and he dropped it. Now this was 2007 when baggage "revenue control" wasn't in effect, but sometimes a polite, "I'll take my chances" attitude can keep you moving past the nay-sayers. Very good to know.
