Interesting.

One thing that I wonder about - my own approach to packing multiple  
containers has always been to split the load, to build redundancy  
into the system. In other words, if you lose one bag in transit, do  
you really want to lose all of your Remote gear? Wouldn't you rather  
have the Remote equipment scattered among multiple bags so that the  
chances are at least some will get through? This is a fundamental  
principle in expedition planing, where you can always assume that  
some loads will be lost in transit, some in customs, and some when a  
yak or sherpa falls off the trail and into a river. As all  
grandmothers everywhere used to say, don't put all of your eggs into  
one basket... Once you arrive on site, you can repack the bags for  
convenience and ready access.
