A very good reason to use a strap around the case, just in case.
Reminds me of my experience a few days after 9/11 - I was in the Badlands
for a week long photo shoot. On the day of my scheduled departure from Rapid
City, the airline could not assure me that my 600mm would ride in the
overhead, as it had done on my trip out. There was no way the 600 was going
below! I rented a car and drove back to Detroit with it and my peace of
mind. It was one of the fastest traverses I've ever experienced most of the
traffic - it was relatively light - was running in the 85 to 100mph range.

A horror story:

I though this story would be of interest to some people here, as we just
recently discussed the question of transporting photo gear on airplanes.
