Ask HN: How would you travel on an airline with your life's data and devices?

I am moving to a new country and it will require travelling by plane with all of my possessions. That includes many laptops, Raspberry Pis, routers, hard drives, USB drives, and SD cards. I think that this may firstly look suspicious, and secondly I am concerned about something being implanted on any one of the devices or drives if they are ever out of my sight, or being "asked" if they can be viewed (i.e. being compelled to give in to plugging in the drives). What would you do? Encrypt all the drives? Transfer almost two terabytes to encrypted cloud storage (which provider?)? What about the laptops (I have 4, one Android tablet, two iPads, a current and old phone)? I could ship these in the post ahead of time. Though I don't think if it's any safer.
