TSA will not have an issue except for the metal rod tube. Metal tube = blunt weapon you could bludgeon somebody with.

The airline might have a problem with the length of the tube in the overhead. I'd also imagine that the plane from Michigan to O'hare will be quite small, so you'll probably have to drop it off before stepping on to the plane.

Having done it myself, I'll bet there will be a lot of rods on the plane out of Chicago.
