I have a 7x5 Kashmir rug that I bought in India and i'm flying to LAX... it probably weighs about 20 lbs. I have it in a large plastic bag that I can carry without issues, dimensions I can adjust to fit into the 22x14x9 footprint because I can fold the carpet accordingly.

My question is that just because it isn't a suitcase am I going to be given grief about this? Is there going to be an issue putting this through the scanner in the security belt?
