Your wallet could contain razor blades or other deadly metallic contraband that the NoS can't detect.

Very bad, IMHO, that they're so inconsistent on this (like everything else). As you saw, you usually have no warning until it's too late - it can be difficult, if not impossible, to see what the TSO is doing with your wallet.
