When traveling on an air plane is it safe to assume gear strapped to my bag is secure (as in pic related)

I never lost any but i wouldn't doubt others have. But really who cares about your 20 dollar sleeping pad. And if you strap anything more than that to the outside of your pack you are doing it wrong.

I strap my tent poles to the outside (kelty salida 2)

lol just don't. Don't trust these fuckers. Just make a smaller pack with those things. Guys that handle bags don't give a fuck about it. They just have to fit into a container so if they have to step and jump on them, they'll do it. Why do you think the industry standard is a square hard rectangular box?
Pack your shit bro, if you can't fit it, don't bring it. With the exception of walking aids

I am not familiar with that tent. But if you can't fit your tent poles in your bag at the airport where you are presumably wearing more clothes than on the trail and not packing a days worth of water and 5 days food, wel then you probably need a bigger bag or a different tent.
