Imagine this: Some brave soul decides to test TSA's effectiveness by hiding an inert stand-in for explosives (perhaps an amount of play-doh or modeling clay) somewhere on his person.

Maybe start out with it hidden in various orifices and go through the AIT.

Then place it somewhere on his body and go through pat-downs by opting out of AIT.

Finally, go through AIT with it on his body and see if he is caught.

Certainly he will go through enough times where he is not even "randomly" selected to go through AIT.

I imagine it would be devastating to TSA, given their actual red team resports are not shared with the public (though officials are quoted saying their are off the charts).

But the question is what would happen to them if they were caught? It's not illegal to put play-doh up your butt and go through a security check-point, right? Is it illegal to put modeling clay on your taint?

Also, you can only go through the same security check point so many times...could you print up fake boarding passes for different airlines/terminals?
