The guys at the stores would package them in brown boxes labled "Kitchen Utensils" or would give a nice big 40'' tv box filled with fireworks to make sure we didnt get caught. Luckily we never did.
But anyway, I realized that spending money on fireworks is a BIG waste. Why spend that much money for something that'll last me an hour, when I can go downtown Chicago and watch REAL fireworks.

A cop can't just search your car because they suspect you have something illegal without some real reason. Just because you're crossing the state border isn't enough. Put it in your trunk and you're good to go. Not only that, but I don't even think it's illegal to buy illegal firework out of state and bring them back, only firing them off is (as far as I know).
