(bolding mine)

Unless it was a very unusual knife indeed (ceramic?), the WMD or a hand-wand would also have detected the knife hidden in the bra. I'm guessing that it was a metal knife or TSA would have used the occasion to point out the (alleged) superiority of the NoS.

Every time I see 'inert grenade', I assume it's a bottle of expensive perfume and some TSO just got lucky.
