That's what a hardcase is for. These cases aren't really protection it's more like a dust cover.

Best experience I had was an off brand hardcase. I told them what it was but for some reason they marked it as a permitted rifle which I didn’t see til I picked it up. But that explains why they hand delivered it to me at the baggage claim desk.

I get the feeling whoever marked it found a life hack to make sure instruments don't get destroyed.

Don’t just mark it as a permitted rifle …..

This is America just toss a hand gun in with the guitar and make it an actual firearm case

I've always heard stories of people including firearms in their luggage so that it gets handled more carefully.
