Never let them put your pet's carrier in an overhead bin.

Personally, I would feel terrible if my pet got away on the subway or train. I might have some luck catching a dog, but a panicked cat? There's no chance. I guess for allergies we need to have pet free cars on the subway. I know some people could die if a bag of peanuts was opened by someone near them. It's a very difficult problem.
