However, people on other photo newsgroups informed me of a few things that made me discard the idea. 1) - not all airlines happily accept checked baggage so labelled. 2) - not all countries allow free and unrestricted access to items so labelled. 3) - you may find that hotels may have some reservations about letting you check in with luggage so labelled. 4) - this trick has become so widely used that to airline thieves, it is a clear signal that something of value may be inside. 5) - all of this presupposes that the thieves that you are trying to avoid read English. Nifty though the idea sounded at first consideration, I discarded it. I'm relying on insurance and carrying my stuff in my carry-on luggage, thanks just the same.
