Best way: don't check anything.
Worst way: expect a different answer now, than the replies a few moments ago.

Good luck, and have a safe and nice trip! Train trips can be a lot of fun.
Also, "illegitimi non carborundum". Not good Latin, but the sentiment seems to apply. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Illegitimi_non_carborundum
Edit: I suspect that not many SuperTopians, apart from jstan, have recent experience with train travel on the U.S.

Do you have to take it?
I know someone who spent $2,000 to recover lost data of the company laptop.
Do not know if it was the X Ray at the airport, a bounce taken somewhere along the way.
You should be OK, just back everything up.
Too bad it's a pain to swap out the hard drive, unlike the desktop models.

I would keep the laptop with you. Too valuable to leave
checked where it could be stolen, banged up, etc.
Take no chances. . .
and have a safe trip

I travel a lot...
"I don't check anything that I truly value..."
...wise words.
If you have to bring it, keep it with you no matter where you travel, how you travel, or why you travel.
Have fun!
Cheers,
DD

i would never ever check my laptop. have you ever bought anything with it? ever written anything personal in yr email? have you ever entered a social security number, account password, credit card number?
if so, it's almost as bad as leaving your credit cards in your suitcase.

Please stop giving us running beta of your thought process.
I am recovering from surgery and it is raising my blood pressure.

Sorry, but after 44 posts spanning two separate threads (prior to me posting),
my interest was thoroughly piqued, and I was captivated. And now I can't stop
wondering how the mind-bending, public-discussion-worthy puzzle was solved...
