Official (TSA !) advice is NEVER put anything valuable like electronics in
checked baggage. Levels of theft are reported to be much lower; a substantial
number of TSA staff (436 I think) have been fired, but theft by baggage
handlers remains an issue. I always use hand baggage, even for a TenTec
Hercules II linear, (not for its PSU !!!) and after an unfortunate experience
at Philadelphia, I never say whats in the bag. Let them ask .....
I took my K2 to ZS6 only days after 9/11. It was simply wrapped in a newspaper
inside a supermart plastic carrier bag (no normal hand baggage allowed) but
no-one asked what it was; no-one asked to see it.
