Ryan:

I use a suplus "Willie Peter" wooden ammo box to carry vehicle
necessaries.

None of LEOs who have inspected the interior of my vehicle at the airports
I've driven to (Miami International [where security is *usually*very*
tight], Ft Lauderdale, Tampa International) have ever reacted negatively
to its presence in the rear of my SUV.

IMHO, the use of surplus ammo boxes, canisters, etc are so ubiquitous
(hell the LEOs probably have a couple in the back of their pickups, SUVs
for the same reason that I do).

It may well be that one day I'll run into a bored LEO who wants to have a
litle fun.  If so, I'll just politely non-react until he gets bored with
me.

YMMV
