To clarify ...

Checked luggage may be opened after it is x-rayed. Leaving cork grease in a
checked clarinet case is probably an open invitation for that case to be
opened when you are not around with the instruments then repacked by
security personnel.

Keith,

One suggestion. They are opening and removing anything in checked luggage
that looks like a gel. Women's lipstick is a big item for removal. I would
throw away all tubes of cork grease!!! Otherwise, your carefully packed and
bubble-wrapped instruments might get opened to remove this and your
clarinets rewrapped by somebody who does not know the difference between a
clarinet and a kazoo.
