Cotton-poly blends are more likely to be okay in the dryer. I think 40 minutes of drying is sufficient on hot. But I know the word is out on that. As long as the business traveler won't have their luggage seen by anyone who matters, I think it's good to be safe rather than sorry. I think you can buy really cheap simple nylon garment bags for $10, though I am not sure where to get them. (Maybe a uniform supply--I had a uniform once and they gave them out in these bags). It would not be classy by any means but might draw less attention and would fold up small so could easily be frozen for re-use at a later time. HI Hopeless– Yes, good idea.

Not sure what would work for a business traveler.
