I hit that back before the TSA days. Family emergency, I threw what I needed in a bag and headed to the airport. Since it was a carry-on I wasn't careful about packing and things shifted--I ended up with every charger and device in a pile that drew a manual inspection and a bit of chiding from the agent. He understood when I explained why it happened, though.
