A blind != a hologram projecting a false image while you do something illegal inside.

But even that would be OK wouldn't it? Writing "Flour" on a bag before putting contraband powder in it shouldn't be illegal.

If you do that with the intention of passing through a checkpoint to hide your contraband, why shouldn't that be a crime?

Why should a bag of drugs labeled "drugs" be less illegal than a bag of drugs labeled "not drugs"?

The labeling can serve as evidence toward the smuggling case without needing to be its own crime.
