I've always just put it in the glove compartment when going around the beltway from Maryland to Virginia. I don't think anyone, LEOs included, would appreciate me pulling over onto the shoulder of the beltway to put my RD in the trunk. As it is, while it is in the glove compartment they can't detect it with their RDD and they can't see it anyway. If they'd like to search my car I'd like to know the reason.
