Rei,
It's an interesting sticker to put on your cases but that kind of
announcement can beget you more hassle than it's worth from local.... legal
authorities.

As many of the bad guys are aware folks use this kind of thing as cover for
non radiation stuff the chances are they'd run with it anyway and take their
chances.

The bad guys aren't too bright, however, they'd take it and get someone else
to open it.
