I put an external hard drive that contained 4 years work in a hard shell case with three locks and a lockable security strap. I know people that have lost cameras, iPods, DS Lite's, phones etc. etc. If you lock and secure your luggage you should have some faith it will get to the other side containing everything you locked inside it. My biggest point in the post I made was that what can be put IN a locked case ... imagine getting pulled at the airport and drugs being found in your locked and sealed case. Would the Police beleive that these things were put in AFTER the case lelft your hands? It's a huge scam AND a known about occurence. It needs bringing to the forefront of our minds again.
Thank you so much for your heart felt message.
