He doesn't come over as obnoxious until after his gear gets spilled on
the tarmac. He does come over as not having done what he should to
prepare for flight.
As others have pointed out, he should have had a TSA approved lock on
the case & not having insurance is just begging to be screwed by the
airline.

Didn't happen to me, but I did once arrive at my destination to find out
none of my luggage, including my Martin 12 string, had made the
connection at O'Hare.
Fortunately, the guitar arrived safely several days later, so I was just
pissed off rather than heartbroken.

All I have to say is how obnoxious was he? I've only been forced to
check carry on luggage once, and that was in France. Still, a really
awful performance on the part of American Airlines. Makes me glad I
don't fly them.

I though this story would be of interest to some people here, as we
just recently discussed the question of transporting photo gear on
airplanes.
