Hmmm... "danger" -- rather nebulous term -- any or all of these might apply

  -- explosives [in particular, nitroglycerin or any other "shock sensitive" formula]
  -- toxic [waste] [chemicals] [food (i.e., rotting)]
  -- any [significantly] radioactive material
  -- a photo of him with "the other woman"
  -- cash [from a recent bank robbery, i.e., the "marker" pack...] or other stolen goods
  -- a homing beacon [for which an ICBM is tuned to and "in flight"]
  -- a wild/ferocious animal
  -- drugs or other "controlled substances" [and he intends to "self medicate"]
  -- incriminating evidence of a serious crime [and he isn't a defense lawyer or the bailiff, i.e., the evidence is pointing out "he did it"]
  -- a brass rat [oh, wait, that's another story -- must have been the lawyer reference]
  -- an INCORRECTLY packed parachute... [think about it...]
  -- an appealing/aromatic food [and he's walking through a forest, unarmed...]
  -- Dr. Smith  [you KNOW this had to be said...]
