Consider me a pack-rat ... Bring a roll of packaging tape, some mailing labels, UPS or Fed-Ex forms. Cardboard boxes can often be found for very little money or even for free around conventions. Then pack up your purchases (tools, parts, etc.) and literature in the box(es) and ship them home. Sure beats having to lug that stuff through airports, terminals, checked-baggage services, etc., let alone having to deal with security issues as noted below. If you must bring tools to the convention, Fed-Ex them ahead. Call the hotel to ask how they handle shipments to their guests. Z!

You might be able to pack them in your check-in baggage but I certainly wouldn't want to loose my tools that way. Thanks to a certain idiot radical mid-east Muslim who shall remain nameless I'm afraid that taking tools to conventions will be forever changed. This will also likely effect the purchasing of new tools at convention too. Freedom is not free.
