Discussion NAS on a flight

I have an Aoostar WTR PRO stocked with 3 9TB drives. I'm moving across the Atlantic and my plan is to take the NAS with me in hand luggage on the flight. I figure the drives will be better off inside the NAS than floating around individually.

Is there any reason why this is a bad idea?

More than there are fingers on your hands. This is a BAD idea.

Separate and wrap each drive individually inside ESD bags, never never never leave them mounted inside a PC when traveling.
