I'm assuming an ETD wand:

The AskTSA Twitterers told the guy to just throw it away.

The screener who left the wand in the bag should be charged for it.

If I can't produce a piece of company hardware that's my responsibility, the cost will be deducted from my next paycheck.

Is this a new version of 'screener discretion'?

Curious how much they cost. Is saying toss it Waste, Fraud, and Abuse on the part of TSA? If the screener forgot to take out the wand what else did s/he forget?

Considering all of the Magic Wands (of both the "Harry Potter"esque juvenile and more adult version) that TSA has stolen over the years, maybe this TSAer just wanted to "give a little back".
