checked baggage in taped box?

i apologize for this not being a TrueBlue-related post, but it it is a JetBlue-related post.

my question is this - i am traveling for work in a couple weeks with a good amount of tools and equipment (about $3,500 worth). i doubt that i will be able to carry it on, but if i check it, i don't trust the baggage guys to not take anything (i've had far less valuable stuff stolen before). if i put it all in a regular old cardboard box and tape it up (similar to it would be if being shipped), will they be able to open it up and look through it?

on the way back, i'm probably going to ship it. but that's not an option for the arriving flight.

if anyone can offer any thoughts, i would appreciate it. thanks a lot,

brian
