Beware American Airlines too
We too had our luggage "DONE" at Macarran we think - after handing our luggage over for search and security tagging we never saw our camera equipment again - the camera equipment was too heavy for hand luggage as we already had other equipment with us and was put on full view of everyone during the search - makes you wonder about how easy it is to ADD an explosive device let alone take out our cigarettes and cameras - makes you wonder! No insurance compensation either - travel insurance said NO because our gear was in the "SAFE" hands of American Airlines - American Airlines are going to pay the minimal amount - I know it is our own fault for trusting them but we need the equipment for our business - it is still VERY VERY annoying
