How is that a security threat?

Either way, very odd.
The bag was still well back on the roller bars, and hadn't even hit the conveyor belt part yet. I was just double checking that the zipper was closed, something people must do all the time.

Yeah - they swabbed them with the little round "swabbie pads".
