I have traveled recently with my 4x5 camera, and all accessories (except for the tripod) in a backpack that I carried on. Security had no interest in it at all. They spent more time searching my sandals than they did the backpack!
As far as I know the carry on size regulations have not changed in the last few years, but they are more strictly enforced now.
