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.
