I use an aluminum flight case, meant for cameras etc.  It has a dense foam
insert that holds the rig securely in place on all six sides, and is within
the size limit for carry-on luggage.  It's more obvious that I'm carrying
something 'interesting' than if I were using a backpack or one of Rose's
nice cases, but it's more protective against knocks from fellow passengers
squeezing their linear amplifier transformers into the same overhead locker
...

No worries with airport security so far.  Mostly they are just interested to
know what it is.  I carry my amateur radio license paperwork with me in case
they need more evidence, and I should probably take the Elecraft receipt too
in case the customs people ever take an interest.
