The chance of you losing your luggage is small. I would advise to pack your dive gear in a "hard" suitcase instead of in a dive bag. Baggage handlers in airports such as Miami or Dallas/Ft. Worth are well aware of expensive dive gear being in dive bags and it could attract attention of any thief wannabe's. That's probably overly paranoid, but a long time ago I read an article in the Miami Herald regarding same.
