I was lucky the last time we flew the TSA inspection was at some tables out in the open that we had to carry our bikes too. We stood by while they inspected and then I asked if they minded if I repack myself, they let me. OTOH, they were very reasonably careful poking around in the case and really didn't disturb it too much. I only put various size stuff sacks in with the bike to hold my cycling stuff, and in sizes that fit in the various open spaces in the case, so there really isn't much they can do to increase the chance of damage by how they re-pack it.

So glad I brought my bike. The wind is problematic, but the road quality and safety of the wide shoulders is the best!!!
So is the West Maui loop in.... Maui. I've been to Molokai several times and the riding there is also excellent.
