Don't most airports use CT scanning for checked baggage, CT scanning that the manufacturers claim finds explosives? If this magic scanning finds explosives, then why are there so many complaints about bags being opened and rifled, with liquids and powders being opening and improperly closed?
Buy a weapon, check it and your camera/laptop in the same case.
