I'd worry about floppies - there was a story on the radio a few days
back about some people  who'd taken their video camera on vacation,
made a dozen or so tapes, checked them in their luggage, and when they got 
home the tapes were mostly blank.  Now, it's tough to prove whether
they  really got recorded successfully, but the suspicion was that
the baggage xrays in the  Bahamas trashed them.

A former officemate of mine used to always hand-check her floppies.
At least once, the airline guard got picky about it, because the
floppies were numbered, and some of them were missing.
