I won't argue that TSA is incompetent but I don't see how this anecdote adds any weight to that theory. things like cat food that are dry and very dense can look very similar to plastic explosives on the x-ray scanners.
the fact that you personally were inconvenienced for 10 seconds doesn't (necessarily) indicate a TSA failure.
