Wear your glasses. You can carry papers.. don't check company proprietary
information.

Are you kidding? You think I'd check contact lenses? My eyes aren't
correctable to 20/20 with glasses and I can't risk getting to the other
end and not having contacts. Can't drive to the airport in glasses, either.

And if you think I'm paranoid, the airlines/TSA have a 100% lose/steal
rate with my checked luggage. I've learned.
