Now that's something I'd like to see!
This ever been done at your checkpoints, TSA folks?
I think it's pretty funny actually. I know some avant garde musicians who play things that the average TSAer wouldn't be able to distinguish from noise, on instruments that look particularly un-instrumental. Giving the TSA a judgement call on this sounds like it could be hilarious.
