I agree in theory and I do use the no scent liners, but as soon as you
handle food and then the scent liner, you end up with scent on the exterior
of the scent proof bag.

It is very hard not to totally block the scent. Using the mothballs with an
Ursack has worked for my as the scent of food is weak and the mothballs
makes it less attractive to a hungry critters.

Others may have different experiences.
