I went to the TSA web-site and printed out a list of what is allowed which includes fishing rods. I figured that way if I ran into any trouble I'd pull out the list and show the screener. So far I've had no problems carrying them on either.

I've traveled a lot and the main problem is that airlines tend to lose (for a while) small things like rod carriers. I'm more concerned with that than getting them stolen. Airlines seem to have relaxed a bit about carrying them on, but it's still a matter of what the screener thinks and you may be forced to check them (losing your place in the line) by one screener and not another. Www.magellans.com is now selling new TSA approved luggage locks. They are coded so TSA can open them. You can probably find them at travel stores also.
