just curious about where you got you percentages as i have been to several differnt large airports recently and everyone had dogs and cops with mp3's watching the pickup/dropoff areas and baggage claim areas. they're also in the background when passing thru the x-ray and metal detectors. if i were flying right now i'd mail my stuff ahead. it's very easy to mail a 'welcome' gift basket to the motel you're using along with it's also very easy sending to a post office as general delivery. but i wouldn't carry into an airport at this time...especially the larger ones.
