You can't carry EVERYTHING and their policy basically denies ALL claims (except 'broken' clothing... to a very limited extent). It's enough to make one just stay home!
Never pack anything of value in checked-on luggage, and that applies particularly to electronics. TSA may have stolen your laser pointers, or baggage handlers may have. Either way, theft from luggage is epidemic.
