US Customs and DVD-Rs

Okay, I'm heading from the UK to the US this coming Monday, for to attempt a new beginning at things. I'm wanting to bring my computer data over in the form of handy dandy DVD-Rs, which I have recently burned. As I was doing this, it crossed my mind that the friendly customs officials at the other end (over there in the good ol' US of States) might be none to keen on that idea...

I'm planning to have them in my hand luggage to ensure they don't get fucked up by some disinterested baggage tosser, and I'm just umming and ahhing over what to include in case they just decide to confiscate the flipping lot (40 gigs or so of data, and a lot of game discs). Also, I have a zippo lighter in there that I don't want to get taken off me. I'm carrying it dry and in two pieces, as if that will help convince them I'm not going to take a stewardess hostage with it.

I've not travelled by air in years, not since all the security tightened up a whole load, so I'm not sure what to expect.

Can anyone advise on how anal they're likely to be about my baggage choices?
