That is an horrendous piece of machinery.
Never mind damaging camera equipment, that machine could well damage an ordinary suitcase contents.
I to carry my camera bag with me onto the plane.

That's a clever system - perfect if you're carrying pillows and blankets.

I always check in at least a couple of bags of camera gear, because I can't take everything on board, but so far I never had any issues!

A few years ago (circa 4) had a round trip (two different cities and home) from Hell dealing with the air lines! The avatar might be a picture from that time!! Out of six leg journey, something was wrong with 5 of them. From torn baggage to detour to another city and to stay overnight, (2) delays from equipment failure, (another) change of planes because of equipment
failure .... having my carry-on bag destroyed.
