My bag was x-ray'd but never looked into, I suppose you could bring your 70-300 and if they say anything you could swap to your smaller lens.
The 75mm restriction is for NHL. Olympics are different. The only restrictions they have are no use of flash (which everyone uses anyway with their P&S cameras) and no radio transmitters like Pocket Wizards, etc. You can pretty much bring any length lens you want. I saw some guy with at least a 400 or 500mm shooting without any problems.
