Good luck with Homeland Security. I used to have enough problems with my student visa when I was doing grad school in Wisconsin, and that was long before 9/11.
As for your Pros discs, they're supposedly cracking down more on bootlegs these days, so if you're discs aren't the official ones I would definitely mail them ahead. (Apparently there was a raid in Detroit on an SF con to nab bootleg movies the week before. The theory is that my comment that I was going to an science fiction convention, which usually gets me a free pass at the border, is what actually got me searched this time.)
