They have to be checked. If they fit into your luggage, do that. If not, put them in you case and then into a Porper travel bag with a lock. Let the person, who checks your bag, know that they are cues or TSA will cut the lock to check. (they still may do so)
Pre 9/11 attitudes were a little bit random from airline to airline and airport to airport and even in the case of the more strict airlines/airports I used to be able to sometimes sweet talk the check-in people to allow me to take it as hand luggage, sometimes on the proviso it would be handed to the cabin crew on arrival in the seating area.
Post 9/11....absolutely no chance, any airport, any airline, even if you hide it from check-in staff they will take it off you at the security point

just remember if you check a cue that it's really cold in the baggage compartment (35,000ft can get like that). in the past, i've wrapped my case in towels, then into a suitcase with no problems. it would suck to pull out a warped cue when you get there.
next time i fly i'm FedEx'ing my cue to the hotel.

I put mine in my case (which is sturdy), then into a travel cue case, with a TSA-approved lock. I also inform TSA of its contents and request that any inspection be performed in my presence.ratcues said:
