Put biohazard stickers on all sides of the case. Bet no one looks in that one.

Just kidding. Your horn would end up at USAMRIID at Ft. Detrich, MD. being sniffed by well-trained beagles.

In reality, you could use a couple of webbing straps secured in place by duct or gaffer's tape, with an additional run of tape along the entire circumference of the case where the two halves of the case come together and latch.

If you were to get really malicious, you could hide one of those dye bags that the banks use in the duct tape. At least that way you could identify the jerk that stained your case (and his arms). You could coat the latches with something innocuous, yet warm and slimy, like vaseline (or tuning slide grease). Most people recoil when they unexpectedly put their hand into something like that.

All joking aside, if you follow Anthony's advice and gate-check your horn, watch them load it and unload it, then you shouldn't have any problems. But insure the hell out of it, too.
