<p>I have a pelican full of stuff that I carry all around the globe,
literally, been all the way around 2x+.<br>
</p>
<p>I have never lost things to airport thieves with the sole
exception of one small pouch of drill bits that might have been
lost elsewhere.<br>
<br>
The biggest concern might be that the TSA is not at all good at
re-packing things the way you had them in to start. 3 ideas for
this, <br>
</p>
<p>1. put the meters in a smaller case that will protect them no
matter how they get stuffed in the main case.</p>
<p>2. if you can spare the room, get a case with the foam fillers/
trays and give them a home in a cut out in the foam.<br>
</p>
<p>3. Carry a firearm, declare it and lock the case with your own
lock that TSA will not have a key for. You can do this with a
starter pistol or a blank firing pistol or even an unfinished
receiver, As long as it has a serial number stamped on it, they
will call it a gun and you get to lock your case with a real lock.<br>
<br>
I am currently starting to need to carry a liquid filled Hydraulic
pressure guage, and trying to work out how to keep it from getting
killed. Option 3 is out for me because of international travel.<br>

Getting tired of giving up carry-on space to my disto, plumb laser
etc. Thoughts on putting them in checked bags?
