Are you sure you can trust the TSA to leave it alone and not steal it or
think it's a bomb?

I wouldn't trust them near my underwear let alone my laptop or any other
computer. And remember, these guys are morons, not the brightest crayons
in the box. Guaranteed, they will probably think it's a bomb and muck
about with it. And it won't have a monitor attached, so you can't just
turn it on and let them see the flashy little lights their pea-sized
intelligence can barely recognize as not being a bomb. 

Well, that's Homeland Insecurity for ya...
