I've asked the same thing.  I'm leaving for Lebanon and Syria in less than
two weeks.  I have to carry cameras, laptops, etc.  So far, the advice is
to carry on board if at all possible.  If not, have lots of good
insurance!!  Of course insurance won't do me any good if I end up there
with no cameras or computers.

The airlines will not cover any expensive items in checked luggage.

What a mess!!  I guess I'll use my iPhone :-(  If they allow that!
