Sturdy Laptop Travel Cases?

biglig2 asks: "You may have seen on todays news that, after a foiled attempt to smuggle explosives on a plane here in the UK, UK airlines are now banning all cabin baggage on outgoing flights. Great timing, since I'm probably flying to the States next week, and this means putting my laptop, iPod and cellphone into the cargo hold. Since I have to assume that anything I put in the hold is going to be frozen, depressurized, and repeatedly jumped on by the baggage handlers, what hard laptop cases have Slashdot users found to be indestructible?"

I call "BS".

First of all, this "ban" won't last long. Primarily because airlines would go out of business if they didn't have business travelers. The reason they would lose business travelers is because the airlines aren't willing to take on the liability of corporate "laptops" in their cargo holds. If I bring a notebook with $4 million dollars worth of data on it, I can guarantee that the airline would prefer that I carry it on, rather than "check it in" to the cargo hold.

Second, why would you link to a website "halliburton" site? Are you fearmongering (ala Republican: let's scare people and take their civil rights), or are you a Democrat: we're not afraid of being blown up in an airplane (because we know the statistical odds)?
