Re: transporting my kit...

In most U.S. airports you relinquish control of the luggage and are not present when they inspect. In fact, in most instances you are not allowed to be present. So if they don't like the x-ray scan or have a slow day or you just happen to be the 1 out of x that gets a random inspection, then y
