Well, bagpipes are.  There is a bag involved somewhere in there, but they sound more like an octopus is being tortured.

I'm confused by this...

Method of Madness:
A safety clearance, if I'm not mistaken, refers to a bridge over a road, and how tall a vehicle can safely pass under it.

A security clearance is being allowed to access secret documents or work in restricted areas.

Certainly. Music bags are generally flattish cases designed to hold sheet-music.

Is "music box" standard American English for what I would call a "musical box"?

hedgie:
Yes.
