I ended up having to go to a club with my empeg, the bouncer didn't believe that it was my car stereo and made me completely empty the bag, including examining the allen key for undoing the fascia. I was one step away from having to open the empeg itself.

I suppose the bag is about the right size to conceal a handgun, if you were that way inclined. I think if it had been a pelican case I wouldn't have got in.
