I haven’t had any problems with TSA sense I started putting Photos of the way the case should be packed with a nice letter.
I ask them to take a little extra time with my case and so far it’s worked. But I don’t travel nearly 100k a year, maybe half that.
as far as overhead space, the camera without the lens on is a very small case. I have always found space for the camera and then kept the lens bag next to the camera or in front of my seat.
I also find that with the TSA locks only 8 out of 10 cases gets opened.
