Yeah with the ridiculous baggage fees and the risks of theft, it's almost always better and cheaper nowadays to ship stuff to your destination, even if you have to pay extra to insure it.
The only thing about really valuable stuff is this- once they deliver it to your hotel, pretty sure the carrier's insurance isn't responsible for anything that happens to it afterward. So if a hotel employee makes off with your goods you're still hosed, but it's probably easier to track that kind of thing, especially if you require that someone signs for it.

I rarely check baggage. In the event that I do it is a bag with ONLY clothing in it. You can in theory carry two bags onto the plane. One for the overhead and another smaller bag that goes under your seat. I have a giant engineers bag that I bought on Amazon. I can fit my glasses (multiple sets), HP Touchpad, pills and much more into it.
If I had a boat load of jewelry to move... I would send that UPS or Fedex with tracking, signature required and insurance.

I despise the TSA, but can you give sources/references/proof for what you just said?

The only way to secure your checked baggage is to fly with a gun. You need the correct case and your own lock that they're are not allowed to open once you check it. You can put all your valuables in with it (computers/cameras/whatever). Takes a little longer at the check out but you know no one will fk with it.

Aye. Clothing and toiletries only in my checked luggage. All electronics go in my carry-on.
