It looks like an ordinary backpack and I've never had a hassle, even when I pack it to the gills. I've carried the equivalent of your kit, plus a laptop, 20D & 17-85, bottle of water, portable Hard Drive, & other miscellany. Carefully scrunched, that'll even fit under the seat if you can't get overhead space. If you don't need the extra space, Tamron's Velocity 9 Sling bag is smaller and also a great bag to use in the field. It'd handle your kit and a few little odds and ends, but not a lot more.
