It had bright orange stickers with skull and crossbones marked "Contamination Danger. Biological Specimens". I've been tempted to use this, but have worried about bringing carry-on luggage marked in this fashion, to say nothing of what might happen in customs. Generally, I use expensive equipment where security risks seem low. When travelling in other areas, I take equipment that I can afford to lose. Last year, this meant taking those "once in a lifetime" photos in Cambodia with a cheap Rollei 35 clone and an old medium format folder. On the plus side, I got a lot of shots of things that I wouldn't have gotten if I were worried about somebody coveting my expensive equipment.
