After our first trip, we only do carry-ons....and yes we bring toys - pack them in a large zip-lock baggie right on top.
Last year coming home, going thru security, the screeners were looking really hard at my bag as it was being x-rayed and yes, they told me they needed to open my bag - I looked around and saw that there were kids around so I asked to be taken into a private screening room as I knew what they were looking at on the monitor and what they were going to find.....Had there not been kids around, I would've let them open it right there in front of everyone!!!
