>Having worked for a few years as a baggage handler, I can assure you that 
it's no myth.<

Is this a confession or just the usual Ding-Dong blather?

>Personally, I usually carry items of greatest value with me.  My
regulator, 
dive computer, notebook computer and, when possible, my cameras, whether 
land or underwater.<

Since you don't travel  .... why not post this nonsense to groups where
they believe that you do?
