1. A cart comprising: a housing having a top and at least one side;a recessed tray for storing items provided in said top of said housing;a top cover mountable with said top of said housing for covering said tray to prevent removal of items stored in said tray, but being movable relative to said top of said housing thereby to permit access to items stored in said tray, wherein a first frangible seal retains said top cover on said recessed tray;at least one compartment, also for storing items, accessible from the at least one side of said housing, said compartment being selectably accessible by being placed between (a) a closed condition for preventing removal of items stored therein, and (b) an open condition to permit access to items stored therein, wherein a second frangible seal retains said at least one compartment in the closed condition;a first user-actuated mechanism for selectively breaking said first frangible seal, but not said second frangible seal; anda second user-actuated mechanism for breaking both said first frangible seal and said second frangible seal. 2. A cart comprising: housing means including a top having a recessed tray;cover means for covering said tray but providing access to the interior thereof when moved relative thereto, said cover means including a first cover retaining portion having a lock seal aperture formed therethrough;at least one compartment mounted relative to one side of said housing means and being movable between an open condition providing access to its interior and a closed condition with its interior enclosed;seal means for sealing said cover means to cover the tray and sealing said compartment in said closed condition, said seal means including a stationary member and a slide member having a lock seal aperture formed therethrough, said slide member is being movable to (a) a first position where said lock seal aperture of said slide member is aligned with said lock seal aperture of said first cover retaining portion and where said compartment is sealed in said closed condition, (b) a second position where said lock seal aperture of said slide member is not aligned with said lock seal aperture of said first cover retaining portion and where said compartment is not sealed in said closed condition; andfirst frangible seal means for holding said lock seal aperture of said slide member in alignment with said lock seal aperture of said cover retaining portion. 3. The cart according to claim 2, wherein said seal means includes: a handle member attached to said slide, member, said handle member being operable from the exterior of said housing means to move said slide member from the first position to the second position. 4. The cart according to claim 3, wherein said seal means includes a handle retaining tab; andwherein said handle member is pivotably attached to said slide member, said handle member being operable to pivot in a direction generally perpendicular to the direction of lateral movement of said slide member, said handle member pivoting between a first handle position where said handle retaining tab inhibits lateral movement of said handle member, and a second handle position in which said handle retaining tab does not inhibit lateral movement of said handle member. 5. The cart according to claim 4, wherein said seal means further includes a means for biasing said handle member toward said first handle position. 6. The cart according to claim 5, wherein said seal means further includes a latch mounted to said handle member external to said housing means, said latch extending away from said handle member such that a force applied to said latch causes said handle member to pivot toward said second handle position. 7. The cart according to claim 6, wherein said latch includes an upper surface having a first end adjacent said handle member and an opposing second end, and wherein said second end is disposed above said first end. 8. The cart according to claim 3, wherein said stationary member includes bracket means having a lock seal aperture formed therethrough;wherein said handle member includes a lock seal aperture formed therethrough, andwherein said lock seal aperture of said handle member is aligned with said lock seal aperture of said bracket means when said slide member is moved to the first position. 9. The cart according to claim 8, further comprising second frangible seal means for holding said lock seal aperture of said handle member in alignment with said lock seal aperture of said bracket. 10. The cart according to claim 9, wherein said slide member includes first severing means and said handle member includes second severing means, and wherein movement of said slide member from said first position to said second position causes said first severing means to sever said first frangible seal and causes said second severing means to sever said second frangible seal. 11. The cart according to claim 3, wherein said stationary member includes a first sliding flange and said slide member includes a second sliding flange disposed adjacent said first sliding flange. 12. The cart according to claim 3, wherein said stationary member includes a plurality of slots, and wherein said slide member includes a plurality of flanges extending through said plurality of slots. 13. The cart according to claim 3, wherein said seal means further includes a locking member fixedly mounted to said slide means, said locking member having a retaining tab extending therefrom; wherein said compartment includes a lock tab extending from an outer surface thereof; and wherein said retaining tab is disposed in front of said lock tab when said slide member is moved to said first position and said retaining tab is disposed below said lock tab when said slide member is moved to said second position. 14. The cart according to claim 13, wherein said retaining tab includes a lip formed thereon; wherein said lock tab includes a lip formed thereon; and wherein said lip of said retaining tab is disposed adjacent said lip of said lock tab when said slide member is moved to said first position. 15. The cart according to claim 14, further comprising bracket means for securing said cover means to said housing means, wherein said bracket means enables said cover means to be removed from said housing means by sliding the cover means in a predetermined direction. 16. A cart comprising: a housing including a top having a recessed tray;a movable cover for covering said tray but providing access to the interior thereof when moved relative thereto, said cover including a first cover retaining portion having a first lock seal aperture formed therethrough;at least one compartment mounted relative to one side of said housing and being movable between an open condition providing access to its interior and a closed condition with its interior enclosed; anda seal mechanism for sealing (i) said cover to cover the tray and (ii) said compartment in said closed condition, said seal mechanism comprising: a slide member having a second lock seal aperture formed therethrough, said slide member being movable between (a) a first position where said second lock seal aperture of said slide member is aligned with said first lock seal aperture of said first cover retaining portion and where said compartment is sealed in said closed condition, and (b) a second position where said second lock seal aperture of said slide member is not aligned with said first lock seal aperture of said first cover retaining portion and where said compartment is not sealed in said closed condition; anda first frangible seal for holding said second lock seal aperture of said slide member in alignment with said first lock seal aperture of said cover retaining portion.
