i got searched because the officer saw a pack of rolling papers in my glove box when i opened it to give him my registration. later, after being frisked and having the car searched, they told me to keep my papers w/ my tobacco. see, i roll my own cigarettes. had the papers been in my tobacco pouch, they said they wouldn't have searched. even if you don't smoke tobacco, think about buying some loose tobacco... it may be good cover for carrying rolling papers.
