My boss says that he always leaves his Freedom Bag inside his bag, rarely gets noticed (of course, we went through a very small airport a month ago, and that's where he got a thorough bag search as retaliation).

I just take the bag out. I have a couple of items that are within the limit, but at first glance appear oversize.

I just carry replacement Freedom Bags after a TSAer touches it. Heaven knows what else those blue gloves have touched (and, no, that's not a shot at the hygiene of TSAers).
