Sage words. You have to plan a little in advance as far as logistics with your other travel paraphernalia, but I go under the assumption that either a power tripping TSA theif or a garden variety thug will always have access to every part of my luggage.
I had a prototype Evertorch in my checked luggage a couple years ago, in a ziploc, and not only did they pull it out, but they took apart every screw on it, and tossed it loose back in the luggage. Trying to find a 1/8" long screw in your luggage when you unpack it is annoying enough, not knowing if you already sent it flying with a pair of jeans when you unpacked it, but at least they didn't abscond with it altogether.
I try to travel as light as I can, but I would rather wrestle with a slightly larger carry-on than put anything with the luggage monkeys. The saddest part is that the guy who stole your lusi probably thought it was a great size to make a party blunt out of... tried, and the wrapper exploded on him and he ended up round filing it.
