I usually 'hide' the contents usually because there is a queue and I dont need the hassle but next time I will challenge them
I have sent knives and hatchets before and as far as they are concerned they are tools, which they are....

The only other times I lie is when I am sending my partners parcels as she deals with re-usable cloth nappies and re-usable menstrual products (clean) and it opens up a whole can of questions and confused looks and I just dont have the time to stand there explaining it all! So they all her posted as 'clothes'
