I was at the Terminal 4, B concourse checkpoint in PHX sunday night. The person ahead of me had his bags sent through the machine several times, which held things up a bit. Finally he was sent to the secondary area.

In secondary they went through his bags and came out with what appeared to be a large blue... male personal pump device. The screener doing the search asked if he could show the item to the man working the machine to explain to him what the image he saw was. Sheepishly, the screenee agreed. The screener then carried the personal item through the checkpoint for everybody to see.

Although somewhat amused, I wonder does the TSA have a policy on finding sensitive items in pax luggage and how they are treated?

Just curious.
