There are too many stories of devices being tampered with, dismantled

The players
are pretty big - about four times the size of a DVD player
(at least), not to mention quite heavy (for what they are). I doubt
they'd be allowed on as carry-on luggage.
It's the vibration I'd be bothered about rather than any temperature
issue though. The quality of the solder work on all the players I've
been inside is about the worst I've seen on any electronic equipment,
I never even considered temperatures, I'm simply thinking of how
non-carryon
luggage is treated. You don't want some idiot deciding to see how far
into
the pile the box can be thrown.
As for the size, it doesn't look that much larger than a standard
Laserdisc
player (though it looks a little thicker than most).
