TSA Sanction Guidelines
Ok, unless I am reading this incorrectly...as long as it would be an otherwise permitted item, there is no sanction. Its $100-200 if you try to smuggle a non-explosive liquid, aerosol or gel, and much more $1500-$6000 if you try to smuggle something like a toenail clippers or a swiss army knife.
Perhaps it would be considered "Interference with Screening: False Threats". Thats pretty damn vague though.
