I don't worry about hiding my stuff other then tossing it in the trunk... mostly because I'm white and clean cut. All I do is make sure to keep my weed and traveling pipe/vaporizer in Nalgene bottles. That wouldn't stop a dog, but no human will ever smell anything through that thick plastic. That way no cop will ever have a reason to search my car.
If I were black or mexican it would be different. Most of my non-white friends have been pulled and searched randomly multiple times in their life, even if they were just speeding like 5 over. I've been pulled I don't know how many times for speeding, never for less then 9 over, and have never been searched. I've even been given DUI tests b/c beer was on my breath and have still never had my car searched (I passed the tests of course). And I've had weed in my trunk every time.
If you're white and clean cut, often you can just drive responsibly and you'll be fine as long as you've taken care of the smell. Sadly, if you're a minority that doesn't hold true in many parts of this country.
Oh... one more thing I do, I keep my trunk absolutely full of random shit... backpacking gear, rock climbing gear, random tools and toolbags, etc. That way the cop would have to be really motivated to search through every bag. And the bag with the nalgene bottles is of course way in the back on the bottom.
