Well someone could just take the tamper resistant/evident bag with them and destroy it. The only thing that tamper evident bags are really good for is when someone transports something specific to another place and there and the person transporting the valuable items do not want to be blamed for any discrepancies.

If they modify, take or destroy the tamper resistant bag than the user will know that it has been tampered with and thus be alerted to take defensive measures.

You can use a dedicated offline raspberry pi running electrum or something like that.

That you only use to sign transactions.

And have a watch only wallet on your daily computer, used to prepare and broadcast transaction.

And your long time holdings should be on paper wallets.
I don't think this would protect you from the government. The government has the ability to to search your property (as well as to seize your property) so they could easily take your raspberry pi and get the private keys

Remove your bitcoin and transfer them a few times to other new addresses before securing them with one of the options above.

So to transfer coins from one paper wallet to another, I need an "intermediary" software wallet - ?  If that is correct, which one would y'all say has the best security:ease-of-use ratio? 

How about Bitcoin Wallet for Android?  https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.schildbach.wallet
