I think it'd have been very tough if I had tried to carry it on board. I didn't, though; I put it inside the cardboard box that Charles Hill sent the Elegance award back in and made it "checked luggage". They did check it, too! I didn't tape the top of the box, and when I opened it up this morning (yeah, it took me a day!) I found packing peanuts inside. So they did look at it. I wonder what they thought of it??
In fact, the Shaft is sitting right next to me as I type this!!
