Yea, but did you read all the discussion? Seems to me that carry-on is still the best. If I were on a business trip and absolutely had to have my equipment I would have a bullet-proof plan B. The ship-ahead method is probably smartest. How many bazillion packages get express mailed safely every day?
I'm planning on carry-on this Sunday, taking the camera collection out to California. I also don't really have the right bag for the other approach -- I'd need new foam for the Pelican, to reshape it for the new equipment (it's gradually changed since I set the Pelican up). But I own too much equipment to carry it all on. Luckily it doesn't all apply to the same kinds of photo projects. Fedex would be another reasonable approach -- again with the Pelican getting fixed up first. But overnight plus that much insurance would be fairly expensive. (I've had a friend Fedex his good guitar in bulletproof case to my house when he was coming out for a convention). But I'm still very amused that legally putting a handgun in my luggage can be a way of protecting it from the security goons and baggage handlers. -- David Dyer-Bennet, <mailto:dd-b@xxxxxxxx>, <http://www.dd-b.net/dd-b/> RKBA: <http://www.dd-b.net/carry/> Pics: <http://www.dd-b.net/dd-b/SnapshotAlbum/> Dragaera/Steven Brust: <http://dragaera.info/>
