I will conceal it within my carry-on, but will the X-ray machine be able to detect it? In the past my friends would simply walk through security with the pot in their pocket but with the new body-scanners and patdowns I don't think I will do that.

Any advice?
Yeah.

Don't do it. You run a big risk of being arrested and prosecuted. You will be going through several places where you do not actually have any protection for warrantless search, i.e., the airport security both ways.
