I participate in two email lists devoted to folks who work in the pro audio world. 
There are more than a few stories of valuable, but harmless, tools  being  
confiscated from luggage that was subject to security inspection in the US. I 
occasionally have to travel with valuable mics and small test equipment. I would not 
dream of carrying it in checked luggage. The only safe alternative is to carrying 
valuables in your luggage is to ship them by common carrier -- FedEx, UPS, etc.
