Why did I have a vision of Pink Floyd singing " are there any ETS forum members in the theater tonight, get them up against the wall?" when I read this post. An individual's demeaner and appearance will determine how authority reacts. If ' Bruno' the midlife crisis biker on a Harley with an american flag , POW/MIA tshirt and atitude gets into a intellectual debate with me in a Rover 2000 TC wearing a suit and tie who is going to get searched by L.A.s finest? Right, Bruno did, in spite of the fact there was a cased Colt New Service and 100 rounds of ammunition in my trunk. Bruno had a butterfly knife and went bye bye. If you ever do get searched, just say it's a disaster emergency kit. They aren't that uncommon really and most emergency personell, including law enforcemnt have their own variations.
