It works for me: I've never actually lost

two occasions. My guess is that I have
checked luggage about 300 times.

But you would surely agree that the chances of it getting lost or
being delayed are dramatically bigger when checked compared to lugging
it on-board yourself?

Sure if you can get it on board, get through the security checks without
being strip searched, and not miss your flight.

F.Y.I. - I usually travel with a large aresenal of rods for a big trip, and
not all are travel rods. I've had to find the best way to get them there by
checking them. Shipping them is safer then checking them, but checking
them (w/insurance) is cheaper.
