You are absolutely right, Loren.
Departing Terminal 2 at PVG today, my netbook had to come out of its sleeve in security.
At the AA checkin counter, the x-ray machines (they may not be manned, but they are being monitored remotely) detected my wife's foldable cane and I was required to retrieve and open the bag for additional inspection in the Baggage Check room. I was asked if the handle was a dagger handle. (No.)
Yeah, we've had to open bags and show them that the stuff on the image that is confusing them is harmless. Unlike the TSA insanity, if there's a problem you go show them what they are seeing.
