My story: Laptop in laptop bag, wrapped in towels and clothing, placed in the exact center of bag (clothing on all six sides). Cinch straps all pulled tight so nothing can move and loose ends tucked into loops on the outside of the bag. At bag claim, all straps were untucked, loosened to full length, some unhooked, and the laptop was on top of everything, the wrappings removed and stuffed into a corner. Another time I saw a handler, instead of sliding a bag onto a belt through a hole designed for such, tossed it over a meter high railing. | |

I've traveled with desktop computers as checked luggage several times (both international and domestic in several countries) and never had a problem. Security will know exactly what is in the box, and a few "wires and whatnot" will not in itself cause them to even consider inspecting the item. | |
