All luggage is checked through xray. If they are suspicious of you carrying anything illegal then they will go through it thoroughly. It goes by weight not the amount of cases most airlines you can take 20 kilos some 25 and a little more for first class. If you are over weight then you pay quite a high price. You wouldn't want to take any bottles if they break you will ruin your other contents

I recommend that you put your toiletries in a plastic bag, like a grocery store bag or something, to proterct the contents of your suitcase in case one of your bottles leak.
You can take as many suitcases to the airport you want, however you are usually allowed to check 2 without excess baggage charge, but be careful on their weight 50 lbs is usually the limit.
All baggage is screened using several different types of screening equipment. They will open your bag and check inside if they are concerned about something, but they usually put things back relatively neatly, some airports are better than others at this.

#1) No the bottles wont explode in your checked baggage.
#2) It depends on the airline. Check their website for information on baggage allowances.
#3) The TSA will check your bags at random. They are all scanned by x-ray, and if anything stands out in the luggage, they will inspect it by hand. The TSA also does random checks by hand regardless of if anything stands out. Alot of times they will take everything out, but they do put it back in along with a little note saying that your bags were inspected by TSA.

1. nope because it is high pressure not high temperature..

2. as many as you want, but if you exceed the limit you've to pay the extra money...

3. in heatrow, yes, they will open all your luggage.. but in most of airport, they just pass your bag through the conveyer to the gamma ray to check what's inside...

1. No, bottles will not explode in your suitcase
2. You are allowed 2 suit cases per person, the weight of each case depends on the carrier you are using. Some allow 50 pounds for U.S. domestic flights and 60 - 70 pounds for international flights.
3. All checked bags are put through an x-ray machine before they are loaded on to a plane. In some cases a suitcase will be opened manually and searched. In these cases you will find a note from TSA letting you know that they have gone through your case. (In the U.S.)

Carry on bags are put through an x-ray machine in security. If something looks out of place or questionable then they will pull you and your carryon aside and do a manual search.
