I said this:
As far as what can be hidden in the thin leash, there is nothing that can be hidden in the non-alarming leash that can't be hidden beneath one's clothing that doesn't alarm.
In other words, anything I would hide in the leash, I could hide in
my underwear which for sure isn't going to be checked so checking the non-alarming leash would be an exercise in futility. Upon second thought, perhaps the TSA should do it-- they like such exercises.

That may be true, but not in this case.
