I used to put my tools in checked luggage but they started "picking" my suitcase for inspection every. single. time. So I started shipping UPS in advance.
I used to be able to declare my camera gear for carry-on and it wouldn't go thru the scanners but not any more. Sometimes they would open the bag and look, sometimes they wouldn't. I have had to take every. single. lens out of the bag and show the TSA agent that it was a real lens. I dunno what the procedure is for film now. Open every box and Inspect every container ?

Update: Just got back from the best work week im ever gonna have…we had sum nasty work to do at first removing a tennis court in rainy slushy freezing weather we had a machine and a side cutter to cut the pipes smaller so the work wasn’t hard…after filling up the dumpster from tennis courts and old mattresses we went out and got a chainsaw from Ellsworth chainsaw shop … my brother was in charge of selecting the saw so we got a sthil… i would have went with husquvarna personally but i cant complain its not my money being spent…he chose the 271 which was great when we were cutting up stumps and bucking firewood but when i had to go thru the trail and trim i would have been much quicker with a smaller lighter saw like my dolmar 401…really satisfying to wake up and run a brand new chainsaw alll day with sharp chains and get paid…the trip worked out perfectly the weather was no match for me last day we got to burn a bunch or pine and barbecue with an old charcoal grill left on the property…i made more than double what i make in a regular work week and didn’t pay for any food gas or anything was very grateful i really hope i get to do it again
