I am taking a birding trip to Texas later this month.  I know that my scope
would be invaluable on the trip, but I am wary of risking it on the plane
flight.  What advice do people have on carrying scopes on airplanes?
Obviously I could carry the scope as a carry-on, but what about the tripod?
Should I put the scope in the overhead or under the seat?  Any tips would be
much appreciated.  

Thanks,

Jym Mooney, Milwaukee
