I've had tennis rackets in the trunk of my car for months at a time with no problem, andI live in Houston.

i just don't buy it. If graphite and carbon fiber are as fragile as you say, golfers should want to carry on their graphite clubs, bikers should want to carry on their carbon fiber bikes, skiers should want to carry on their carbon fiber and graphite skis, the carbon fiber luggage racks in the cargo holds would fall apart, and the carbon fiber wings on the 787 would fall off.
