I had two HTs, a magnesium case older-model Toughbook, two large spare batteries, a package of AA alkaline batteries and other electronics and had no trouble.
However, the process can be highly arbitrary and directives from Dept. of Homeland Security/TSA can change suddenly, so be prepared for the unexpected and downright weird ...
I am planning a couple of grid expeditions that will involve commercial flights, and wonder what experiences others have had with taking radios in their carry on luggage. Does TSA get very involved in this? Did you have to take it out of the case? Demonstrate it? Was it a bunch of hoops to jump through, or very smooth sailing?
