This is probably the best strategy. I don't particularly mind taking it out other than the PITA issue and the time it takes to unpack and repack. My first time, I asked whether they wanted out, and of course they said yes, any "large electronic" devices. Next time, I will pack it, with cords elsewhere, and see how it goes.
