Yes, but... What if the passenger opened the package while the car was being driven, and the commotion with the glitter and fart bomb (and perhaps a exaggerated response by the passenger) might contribute to an accident. Maybe the smell and the shame might make the thief stressed and make bad decisions in traffic. Both scenarios might seem silly, but I think they are in quite a different legal light when there is intent to disrupt.
