seal in packaging (box, etc), wrap whole mess in large towel, place out of line of sight, 
cover with other gear, keep copy of receipt handy, don't give the law probable cause to 
pull you over, don't obsess about it  ... you should have no problem (especially if not 
sharpened).  

been transporting blades, archaic weaponry, and firearms of all types to/fro in tejas for 
25+ years with no incident to date (regularly get away with hauling my cased HK 91 
(ie, "black, un-american, evil assault rifle") or HK94 (even more evil pseudo smg ...) on 
my back when heading out to the range on the harley.  

alternately, a locked, rigid long-gun case (plastic / aluminum) can easily prove that it is 
not accessable to occupants (same as locking in trunk) .... and if they ask why you 
have it, there is only one answer ... "there can be only one!"  (note: our local cop's 
tend to have a sense of humor and aren't usually looking to hassle anyone ...) 

'wolf
... use common sense.  if you don't look for a confrontation and you'll rarely find one
