They don't seem to ask that anymore ... in fact, I don't think I've ever been asked what's in my boxes or bags in all the flying I've done over the past 10 years or so.
I have, however, been asked, "What kind of bicycle is that?" or "Is that a mountain bike or a road bike?" when I've turned up with a bicycle box.
