My concern as well - hubby travels for business & has to take his work laptop with him - he may not use it on the flight, but needs it when he gets to his meetings - my concern is either it getting stolen or broken with the way the baggage handlers throw the luggage around. Also, our daughter is a professional photographer & while she can remove the cards from the camera, I would not trust the TSA & airline employees with access to several thousand dollars worth of camera equipment. Last thing you need is to get to a photo shoot & find your camera equipment either broken or missing!
