I'd wrap it nicely in towels tbh and keep it in the suitcase. If you don't normally carry a suitcase then take a small one, chuck some shit in it like suits and stuff to wrap it in. Take a shaving bag, just bits really. Trying to explain this wont be comfortable and you might get a jerk who wont listen or just take it away from you under some fucking retard act.
