i guess you could pack it into your bags and ship it

i think carrying it is way much secure than sending it.

i don't think american airlines allow you to carry computers on by yourself. When i was bringing my macbook on the plane, they made me put that in a separate bucket so i'm not sure it's worth the hassle to carry it onto the plane. you could ship it with you on the plane and carry it home, but i wouldn't try to bring it on the plane by hand
