I travel a lot with expensive gear in Halliburton cases. It's not usually 
cameras; it's usually electronic gear.

I used to do the suitcase-in-a-suitcase trick, but for the last 10 years 
I've done it another way, that is much less work for me. I use only white 
cases; I paint them white if I can't buy white ones. I put a red Biohazard 
label on both sides of the case, and I add a label that says "Medical 
samples" and another saying "AID Center for Disease Evaluation". I've never 
had a problem. After I pick up the checked bag and I'm ready to use it on 
the job I tape a real label over the fake biohazard labels.
