The invention claimed is: 1. A transparent lockable container for securing controlled substances on an emergency vehicle, comprising: a. a transparent lower section having a depth forming an interior area to contain medications, subdivided by transparent, thin longitudinal ribs secured to and rising from the bottommost surface of said lower section, said ribs creating channels running the length of said interior area of said lower section, each such channel capable of accepting one or more ampules of medication, and incorporating a first hole in one of said channels in said bottommost surface; b. a transparent upper section joined to the lower section along a seam; c. a single slot at one end of the container to accommodate the insertion and withdrawal of a transparent slidable lid; d. a transparent slidable lid passing through said slot, incorporating a second hole of roughly the same diameter as said first hole; e. a clevis pin, the shank of which is capable of being inserted from the exterior of said bottommost surface of said lower section through said first hole in said bottommost surface and then through said second hole in said lid. 2. The container of claim 1, in which said lower section and said upper section are made from Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene, joined together along said seam with Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene glue. 3. The container of claim 2, in which said lid is made of acrylic. 4. The container of claim 1, in which two outermost ribs extend vertically to an uppermost edge of said lower section, and in which intermediate ribs located between said outermost ribs extend vertically to a height lower than said outermost ribs. 5. The container of claim 4, in which said intermediate ribs are about ¾ inches high. 6. The container of claim 1, in which said channels are approximately ¾ inches wide. 7. The container of claim 1, in which the overall length of both said lower section and said upper section is approximately 7¼ inches, the overall width of said sections is approximately 6¼ inches, and the overall height of the container, when said sections are joined at said seam, is approximately 1⅛ inches. 8. The container of claim 1, in which a first grommet is inserted into said first hole. 9. The container of claim 8, in which said first grommet is made of Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene. 10. The container of claim 1, in which a second grommet is inserted into said second hole. 11. The container of claim 10, in which said second grommet is made of Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene. 12. The container of claim 1, in which third and fourth holes, each perpendicular to said shank, pass through said shank and are each capable of accommodating the insertion of either a slidable padlock shackle or a tamper-resistant, break-lock, pull-tight seal. 13. The container of claim 12 in which a padlock is used to secure the lid by passing its shackle through one of the two holes in the shank of the clevis pin, and by passing a tamper-resistant, break-lock, pull-tight seal through the remaining hole of said shank.
