 I have flown twice with my poles.  Had to check them both times.

Good luck getting a trekking pole bast the TSA. hahaha.

Definitely check those and anything pointy or remotely weapon-like with your
pack (which is probably too big to carry on unless you're really
ultralight). I'm planning either to pack my pack in a cheap duffle bag,
or more likely a clear plastic bag, so the straps don't get caught in the
conveyer belts. All I'm carrying on are some more pricey things, like
camera, mp3 player, and whatever I choose to travel with (snacks, book,
etc).
