Do NOT put it in hold luggage unless its a) backed up and b) you're insured and fancy a new one. It will get broken.

Apart from the risk of damage and theft (esp. if going ANYWHERE long haul), I'd be concerned about the LCD display being damaged by the low temperatures.

But to answer the question, yes you can - if you're silly enough to want to!

Take it in hand luggage, you'll probably have to take it out for scanning so have it handy.
