I agree checking it in the hot weather will not give you a good outcome.
Good luck, have a great trip and enjoy Nambia!
good point about the bulk box as i wonder what might happen if the screener saw 50 tubes of chapstick wrapped with rubber bands onthe x-ray screen.

possible outcomes:

a) nuttin' honey (as when they didn't notice my 25 cuban cigars in their original box when i had to re-clear security at ord)
b) "bag check"
c) terminal dump
d) <your choice here>
