What about corporate travelers taking prototypes and other sensitive items in pelican cases or similar luggage?
- numbsafari 11y agoPelican cases offer durability, not security.
- rdl 11y agoThey are way better than anything with a zipper. The best SE on a pelican is to attack the hinge.

- kelnos 11y agoThis is seriously the most insightful comment in the entire thread. Stop trying to secure your checked luggage! Just don't check things at all, or at least don't check things that are valuable. I travel pretty often (sometimes 2+ week trips), and I haven't checked a bag (valuable or otherwise) in nearly 10 years. If you need to transport something valuable that you can't carry on, ship it instead, overnight if necessary. No, that may not be cheap, but if you're that concerned with security, it's probably worth it. (Not that FedEx/UPS/etc. don't come with their own problems, but I've found them to be pretty reliable over time, and you can insure the item in question.)
