Travel-ready Think Tank Airport Security carry-ons

A while back I wrote an article about our carry-on luggage for two dSLR housings. Since the Storm Cases combined could only fit a single flat port and small dome port, all other ports (including some Aquatica 8" ports and port shades) had to be packed in our checked luggage. I assumed a bunch of ports would have little or no value to thieves. Well, a connecting flight through San Juan proved me wrong. They stole five ports, including two limited edition Ikelite-Aquatica dome ports with port shades. I later found one of the Ikelite-Aquatica ports bundled with a housing for sale on eBay. You can read part of the story in our Bonaire in October 2005 trip report. Hopefully the Department of Homeland Security, FBI, and TSA will put an end to the thefts in San Juan, but I'm not holding my breath. So meanwhile, I went looking for larger carry-ons -- ones that could potentially accomodate our newly purchased, and redesigned, Ikelite 8 inch ports.
