Just traveled to St. Thomas USVI yesterday with my Meg without incident. I used tips found on the board which included:

- Carried Meg Canister, Head, Scrubber, CLs, regs, and loop as carry-on in el-cheapo roll-aboard bag
- Valves completely off cylinders
- Sorb packed broken out into doubled-up plastic bags with MSDS attached
- Placed polite note in each bag explaining that the cylinders and sorb met TSA and DOT transportation requirements and provided my cell phone number in case of questions.

Really not a big deal. Just know your rights. Make sure that you pack according to regulations, provide documentation, labeling and contact information.
