+1. Just flew back from Cycle Oregon today. Out sleeping bags and a pillow were in compression sacks and our mattresses were rolled and bagged. Nothing was messed with.
I have a Dragon Fly. Didn't need it for this trip, but it's expensive and I don't want it confiscated so when I do travel with it I ship it, which usually is no big thing since I usually ship my bike rather than fly with it.
