If you have expensive electronics or a controlled substance prescription, you're a fool to let them pry your bag from your hands. United recently forceably checked my carryon bag (because I hadn't paid extra to be in a lower boarding group) on a long international flight (multiple connections) where I would be without my belonging for 40 hours. Pretty rough when you will start going through withdrawals after 8 hours. It was like the end of the scene from Planes, Trains, and Automobiles where the car rental lady (after receiving abuse from Steve Martin's character, which didn't happen in this case) coldly tells him, "you're fucked."
