Simple GSC mechanics:
if you are popped while hauling GSCs, 50/50 chance each GSC will drop or will be destroyed, contents included
- Passwords on a secure container always affect it, anchored or not. If a secure container has a password and it is dropped into space, it is not anchored and can be scooped into a cargo hold, though it cannot be accessed without the password. This is easily remedied by going to a station and repackaging it (which clears the password)
- The only way a secure container can become anchored is if you actively anchor it. Once that happens (if a password is set) the only way to clear it is to blow it up or unanchor it. It cannot be scooped
- Fly a tanked setup with at least one warp core stabilizer and an inertial stabilizer so you can warp out faster if someone starts targeting you[/8}
[*]If you carry something very valuable, use a covops to haul it

Aren't these supposed to be SECURE containers?
Only once they have been properly anchored. Until then, you'd best consider them normal containers.
If a container is unanchored in space and passworded, it's still more secure than a jetcan. The only way to access the contents would be to scoop the can into your cargo hold and repackage it at a station. This is difficult to do as GSCs are quite large and not everyone shooting you will be able to fit it.
Edit - though yes, best practice is to assume you have no security and use secure containers merely to expand your cargo and better sort cargo contents. |

I cant wait till there is a covops transport ship or freighter 
Well, if you're running through empire with 5 billion isk of high end minerals or something, never use anything short of a freighter. a regular industrial will be faster, but a freighter is substantially harder to pop.
Edit - I was mainly reffering to moving skillbooks or blue prints around. |

There are plenty of people who will gamble on destroying a freighter with far less than 5bn isk in cargo, even in high sec. I've heard of people going for freighters with as little as 1bn isk in cargo.
Just using that as an example. The General rule of thumb I use is 2b. |
