I think that's what's said in Beverly Hills Cop, yes :) If you're trying
to avoid sniffer dogs, wouldn't it be just as easy to put it in a strong,
vacuum-sealed plastic bag, wash the outside clean of anything that might
give away what's inside, and pack it normally?
As for coffee preventing assensing magicians from seeing what's inside, I
guess we can say that's an uninformed shadowcomment and/or smugglers'
superstition at work... I have no idea how it's supposed to work; if the
beans were alive, sure, you can't get through them to see what's on the
other side. But once harvested (and likely partially processed), I doubt
they'd resist astral intrusion.

OTOH, coffee beans are the seeds of coffee plants, right? So is a seed
alive or dead? If it's alive, then it would prevent astral intrusions...
*lightbulb: OFF*
