I never check anything in, especially my camera equipment, for fear of it getting lost. I always just take a duffel bag of what I need and my camera backpack.

Will I run into issues if I have a monopod packed inside the camera bag? TSA says you can bring one bag of photo equipment, so it would technically fall under that category, but I can see them being weird about it.

Just wondering if anyone has any experience with this.
