Simply the appearance of vulnerability is in itself a security risk; carrying less means that you're not as tired and more able to resist (or recognize) an attack, and that shows in the way you carry yourself.
...After going on a luggage diet I discovered that I can take everything I need for a 5-day trip in a compact non-wheeled carry-on that fits into even the tightest of overhead bins, plus a small camera bag (which doubles as a first aid kit, drink carrier, and lunch repository.) If I ever give up my interchangeable lenses and accept that my iPhone does most of what I need on a business trip, I expect to be able to downsize the already compact camera bag to an even smaller satchel!
