Yes, bring documentation of where and what you purchased.

This emphasized statement bothers me ( and this, coming from one whom is distrustful of plastic volumes).
1> Are these items allowed per the rules? Yes.
2> Does a Plastic Volume with threaded ports have an inherent risk? Yes.
3> Should an LRI automatically ban that item? No. (s)he should look at the implementation and decide if enough has been done to mitigate the safety risk and then make a judgment call.
It's the same when you are using sprockets and chain. It is in the design and implementation that makes it safe of not.
