I always carry a keyboard with me when i travel because when i use a laptop, im more comfortable on the keyboard as oppose to the my laptop keyboard. Anyone else feel this way?


I always put my keyboard in my messenger bag which is my carry on and whenever i go through TSA, i take it out and put it on the bins just like my laptop. But should i keep it in my checked luggage instead? The reason why i don't do this is because i seen videos where tsa throw the bags pretty hard for checked bag and don't want to risk any damage. I mean has anyone here put a laptop in their checked bag only to find out it got damaged through tsa? I know you should not put laptops in checked bag due to theft. That is the number 1 reason right? Im actually more concerned with them tossing my check bag hard and then damaging the laptop. Now if you have it in a laptop sleeve, that sort of protects it.


Another thing i want to ask is this. I usually have a keyboard and 2 laptops with me when i travel. My carry on bag is a messenger bag so its pretty full because i have my shaver there and laptop charger etc. If you were planning to bring a camera with you like a security camera, would it safer to bring it on your carry on or your checked bag? Checked bag would concern me if tsa throws bag hard and also the risk of theft. I heard there is lot of theft with jewelry with tsa. But something like a security camera probably wouldn't be that safe in a checked bag? Whether its a 40 dollar one or a 200 dollar one.
