How can you stop someone from locking on to you for a cargo scan in Hi sec?

There is no way to stop them from scanning you. There are ways to prevent them from picking up anything (valuable).
1) The corporate hangar of an Orca cannot be scanned. Anything in the cargo hold will show up, but the contents of the corp hangar won't be shown and won't drop if the Orca is destroyed. I don't know about the ship maintenance bay or the new ore bay contents.
2) By the same token, the corp hangar of a carrier can't be scanned either, but since they can't go in hi-sec the question is moot for your purposes.
3) I have heard that if you bundle everything into a courier contract, then have the acceptee bundle the contract package into another courier contract, scanning the ship carrying it will only show the contents of the contract package as another contract package. I cannot confirm this, so it might work, might not work, or might have worked once but have since been changed.

Put 50 (or as many as you can stand) of individual pieces of trit in your cargo

They see both the courier stuff AND the courier box.

Use a buffer tanked battleship if you need to move anything of extreme value. Most suicide gankers won't even scan a BS let alone think about ganking it.

Or just do like the douche a few months back who transported a T3 cruiser inside his T1 badger, which was travelling on autopilot to Jita.
Tried searching for the post, but no dice. Some people learn the hard way I guess.

Covert Ops Cloaking Device II would like to have a word with you about that. Especially when used on a blockade runner. People have about a quarter of a second to react and get a lock on you if you're not on autopilot and you're watching what you're doing.

It doesn't work. You can't put 1 courier package inside another - only containers. Even then, the contents of the containers appear on cargo scans.
The only other method that hasn't been mentioned is to start researching BPOs in a labs then unanchoring the lab. It cannot be opened or scanned while in that state - you have to repackage it to get the BPOs out. I'm not even sure whether the assets API shows up BPOs that are in that state.
My suggestion for obscuring cargo would be to carry lots of small piles of salvage and meta 1 or 2 mods, so that people have to pick through lots of unfamiliar long names to find anything of value in the scan results.

Eh... sort the result alphabetically and you can sift through the list pretty fast to spot anything worthwhile.
What does bookmarks show up as in a cargo scan result? Does it just show up as "Bookmark" or does it show up with the name on the bookmark?
If it shows up with name I'm going to buy a pile of badger I's, and fill them with fake BPO's... then laugh at whoever pops my 300k badger only to loot a pile of bookmarks.
Must test this...

The point of filling your cargohold with a bunch of crap is to make the scanning take longer, and it works

i would imagine 10000 bookmarks will do the trick and take up 0 room

Doing the "pile lots of worthless stuff in the cargohold" routine does work.
Be warned, however, that doing this might send up the flag that says "target is hiding something valuable, better kill them" to some pirates/suicide pilots.

on this, I thought putting stuff in Secure Cargo containers prevented the scanner from seeing what was in?
Course the people I heard it from are not couriers by trade and were possibily drunk at the time, so your mileage may vary.

Technically the cloak doesn't stop them from scanning you, it stops them from being able to target you which is a necessary first step to scanning you. Just not flying AFK or using autopilot goes a long way to mitigating this. However, I assumed that if the OP could fly a Blockade Runner then he wouldn't have been asking about this.

This one I know. Scanning a ship carrying secure containers will show both the containers and the contents of the containers.

Let me know what you find out - I might have some badgers laying around to contribute to the cause.
