Always have some in my luggage since I am a light sleeper.
A near downside only happened once in a business trip where I recalled having a dream about an air horn. Next morning at breakfast co-workers asked me if I had made it all the way outside before the fire alarm got cancelled.
I know we are talking about leaving out, that being said....
MRE's and backpacking food are great for mobility, but stocking them up beyond what someone can tote around....vehicle, foot, or however....without investing the dollars past that point in canned foods seems to be a bad idea since canned food is much cheaper and likely will last even longer. Some people are just home bound for whatever reason and a years supply of MRE's they can't move would work out to several years of canned food with the same transport issue for them.

Don't forget about the canned meat that now come in pouches; tuna, salmon, Spam.
Light weight and highly portable, I like them as they are flat and pack well but don't have the shelf life of their canned counterparts. Just something else to keep your stores along with your MRE's, canned food, and dehydrated food.

And that was my point, if things have literally degenerated to the point people in the US will not take cash for something, and you're now trading a knife for say food, most people are boned and what's in the basic BOB unlikely to save you. Most people, including me, do not have more than simple survival skills and experience, and their basic BOB contains essentials to get them through a rough few days to maybe a week, and then back to their homes or other arrangements. I'm sure some BTDT types with the skills and experience would survive well past that, but I'd posit few will last if it's down to trading stuff in your BOB to survive.
Being an SME and your lane, you'd likely fair much better than most no doubt.

The three biggest killers of humans who found themselves in non-human threat "survival" situations are hypothermia, hyperthermia, and dehydration. One can address all three of these with the contents they can keep in their oh shyte bags.
