Leave them. They aren't near any terminals or restricted areas, and they are clear so you can easily view the contents.
leave them - king snr did GC24C5E today in the wet today it would be a shame to see them go...

For those who haven't seen Team Ladava's cache, I have included a spoiler picture of the fantasic cache hide below. The workmanship just makes the whole hide blend into the natural surroundings. Personally, I can't see what the Feds are worried about - scroll down :arrow:

I think it's rather good that these guys are out looking for security threats and checking on things like this, but I find it hard to believe it would be necessary to take the hide away for a closer analysis. A 2 minute inspection would reveal that it wasn't a stinger or anything else capable of bringing down a plane. You would think by now that all security people would be aware of geocaching as there are frequently stories of meetings between the two.

As a cop and while not wanting to give too much away, a stinger is not the only threat. I guess it would be possible to hide a frequency jammer near an approach path that may affect radar or other things. Yesterday in Hobart half the city was locked down after a white powder wasdiscovered in the Post office, it turned out to be harmless.

Alert not alarmed ;)

Slightly off topic, but in relation to that post and the harmless white powder...what I want to know is, who posts ash? You'd hardly send your loved one's remains via Australia Post? And when we clean out the fireplace, we just put it in the garden...

Just becasue it "might" be a Geocache nobody should be expecting any favours be it on public property or not. Everything that anybody notices as suspicious should be treated as such until proved otherwise. Writing geocache on a container does not remove the fact.
