Vibrating toys -- not just the sexual sort -- are no big deal.

While the TSA is a big flop in so many ways, I don't see any good reason to get routinely worried about the above just because it is in a bag of a passenger.

UA over-reacted too if they actually give you 9k miles for over-reacting.

Airlines rewarding over-reactions isn't a good thing.
