You're paranoid. But stay on the interstates as much as possible. The locals in some counties still need the extra income. Make sure you have enough drugs to share with the local officials. ;) Steven Look/act normal -- you don't have to consent to a search, but they can then act like assholes legally and throw you in the slam for 3 days... maybe more, if Habeus Corpus has been offically rescinded in this country. Hell, you don't even need a driver's license unless you make your living by driving. You're a traveler in a horseless carriage (I kid you not). The best way to go is not to carry anything you don't want found. Like a 009 distributor...
