This is a pretty interesting story. I've only had to fly with my trombone a few times, and each time I was allowed to put it in the overhead bin. I do have a hard shell gig bag instead of the big box case, so that helps.
My roommate at Aspen had flown from the UK with his horn, but had to gate-check it. That was 10 years ago now, so it was more to do with space restrictions than security at that time.
I saw Yo-Yo Ma on the tonight show a number of years ago, and Carson asked him how he travels with multi-million dollar Stradivarius cello. He said he buys another seat for the cello.
