Remember When I Said Don't Check Gear with your Baggage? Here's Why...

Just read a totally heartbreaking story from our friend Matt Mullenweg... my ultimate camera nightmare. On a recent trip from Philadelphia to San Francisco, a US Airways scumbag baggage handler stole his Nikon D3, Nikkor 85mm f/1.4D IF, Nikkor 24-70mm f/2.8G ED, Leica M8, Leica 50mm f/1.0 Noctilux and various cards, cases, etc. from his checked baggage. Thats just about $20k worth of gear. Matt, my heart goes out to ya... I can't imagine the pain you must be feeling about it... it would kill me. Read his story here and read my post about gear safety while travelling here.
