the snow must go on
i really hate it when people tuck oversized "carry-on" luggages everywhere and especially after landing when they try to be the first to exit, for some reason those few minutes count a lot to them and take their big frickin heavy hard cases out of everywhere and bump them on other passengers' heads and toes,
because they think they are oh-so more important than everybody else.
Moving is not cheap, moving to another country by plane is definitely not chep, that's the way, sorry! Having 15k worth of photo equipment, i am sure you will figure a way out. Just insure them well if you wanna check them in ,coz it will all be gone.

I doubt customs officials in the US or Israel are given to pilferage. But baggage handlers in the US and other countries are well known for theft.
I've had camera equipment stolen put of locked checked luggage flying from NY to Paris.

My bag and the one after it were both opened and gone through between here and Prague, my bag was not even re-closed, it came out years later that the baggage handlers were selling the stuff on ebay. I complained at the time to Czech Air, Continental, TSA, no one seemed interested. I only know about the one after mine because the woman complained at the same time.
AAA sells the locks, and newer luggage have TSA friendly locks.
Some people had bags from the interior arrive on the outside.
Nothing surprises me, even when the bag arrives intact. ;-)
