If you are a selected for additional screening at KCM will the bike be allowed through normal screening? If not some TSA Officer is going to appreciate his new bike!
My folder fit though xray..
Gate checking has never been a problem.. even when DH on mainline... I think people don't realize how small the folding bikes are, especially the Friday packit. Ive gate checked my regular bag and the folder in the dash or 145 closet many times. No one even knew.
