When they are finished screening my bag, I inventory it before it leaves the shiny table. I will say "I want to make a quick check to make sure everything got back in here." This has never been a problem. I will also ask permission to repack it. It allows me to check without seeming to be checking. Anyway, the case is crammed full with a place for everything and everything in its place. Only I know how to pack it. I am prepared to say "My ________ is missing. Get an LEO and pull the tapes, now." I've never had to do this. The things in my bag are very valuable, about $15,000 to replace, but they do not look like they are. Just the special RG58-CU cables with Amphenol connectors are over $1500.
