Leader of the Pack: Ease your anxiety over transporting your gear
Even though I�ve traveled numerous times by plane since January 1�the day the Transportation Security Administration began screening all checked baggage at U.S. commercial airports�I�m not used to leaving my luggage unlocked when I check it. It may be a while before I can hand my bags to a ticket agent or skycap and not think about them again until I arrive at my destination. I guess I�m just conditioned to want to safeguard my stuff.
Working on this month�s cover story, I thought, �If I�m this consumed with my clothes moving through strange hands, how stressful must this be for the video producer who�s forced to travel with gear that�s fragile, or expensive, or both?� At least there are certain steps producers can take to protect their gear or, at the very least, make transporting it less of a nightmare.
