Here is my problem No way do I want to put all that in check baggage. Come on we are talking close to 10K worth of electronic stuff that really can't take being tossed around. I could try packing the shit out of the stuff, bubble wrap and use my clothes and padding too. However when the bag goes through inspection and some one wants to look at it they will of course Un wrap and pack it. So then what ?

I'm thinking of shipping the stuff ahead of my flight with say Fed X ?

I don't have hard cases and to tell the truth unless I have to don't want to spend that much money on them. Really not being cheap here either remember this is a International flight so there is Baggage Restrictions. I would need the mother of all Hard Cases to hold the equipment as well as clothes and stuff. You can only check two bags and there is size and weight limits as well.

So any suggestions ???

Maybe by Sept 4th they will come down and go back to normal.
go to the airport and ask for unusual baggage handling or along those lines. it will get looked after then
