I have discovered that the only time you get hassled by the security scanner people is when you are at a terminal that is strictly an "Airline Hub" terminal being operated by the airline. Under other crcumstances, airport security personnel don't know or don't care what airline regulations are. I bought a rolling carry on bag last year and just walked through. No one even cared that there were fish in the X-ray machine. THe lady running the scanner asked me what was floating in there. I said "Fish". Nothing else was said. The fish got home fine.
