Honestly, I would think it would, but it would also blend in pretty well with the scatter generated by the seat of ones pants. Four pieces of fabric meet there, I can't imagine a string would really stand out all that much. A sanitary napkin certainly would, especially if it held any liquid turned to gel.
Also for the same reason, I don't think a string would be felt by a screener. There's already enough fabric in the way there.
