My understanding is that the worst restrictions -- i.e. no carry-ons at all -- are only in the U.K. airports right now. If you're only flying in the U.S., you ought to give your airline a call, and see whether your instruments are OK for carry-on. They might very well be, although with all the liquid restrictions, you may have to make sure all the spit is cleaned out before you board!

Don't worry about it Brass. It's only a euphonium, so it's not like you can do shred-fu on it, so it's not like anyone's gonna miss it.

Charter a plane.
That's why I have a job.
All men are created equal, but what they do after that point puts them on a sliding scale.

Boston Logan International Airport Security Advisory

August 11, 2006

In response to events in the United Kingdom, the Massachusetts Port Authority (Massport) advises travelers of the following Transportation Security Administration (TSA) changes to airport screening procedures at Boston Logan International Airport for commercial U.S. carriers and on all flights into the U.S:

“PASSENGERS MAY NOT HAVE LIQUIDS OR GELS OF ANY SIZE AT THE SCREENING CHECKPOINT OR IN THE CABIN OF THE AIRCRAFT. THIS LIST INCLUDES: Beverages, Shampoo, Suntan Lotion, Creams, Toothpaste, Hair Gels, and other items of similar consistency. Such items may be transported in checked baggage”

“PASSENGERS MAY HAVE: Baby formula, breast milk, or juice if a baby or small child is traveling. Prescription medicine with a name that matches the passenger’s ticket. Insulin, and essential other non-prescription medicines”

Before leaving for the airport, travelers are advised to check with their airlines and to allow for additional time at the security check points.
