Tsoron, almost everything on the prohitited list is not a threat. When a person is placed in jail, their shoe laces and other "stringy" things are removed because shoes laces are a threat. So other than what courts have said are a threat, guns, bombs, incendiaries, everything else prohibited is pandering to airline unions and air lines.
Everyone else, some pre TSA cases indicate that screeners are not trained, nor permitted to look specifically for criminal activity, if found they reported it too police. Tsa personnel do not arrest powers nor do they have search warrants, by court order tsa searches are limited too guns, bombs, incendiaries, and if criminal activity is discovered it can be reported.
