This is interesting, but I am curious... who is to say that the TSA didn't see the object, but assume it was nothing? Are they supposed to question everything that they might see on the scanner?

Also, when people go through these things, are photos taken of them from front/back only? Or do they take side photos? If they take side photos, then they could see an object like this.

What are your thoughts?

I think one would be supremely stupid if they tried it for reals.

But if the thrill of the challenge is what motivates you, then this is a rush you'd probably get off on more than a lot of other things. After all, you're fooling the most hated entity in the country imo.
