If an item looks 'suspicious' or is not easily identifiable, AFAIK, they will run it through at a different angle, upside-down, or on a different side in order to get a better/different look at the curious object.

Many years ago, I used to travel with specialty tools, and this problem is not new to me. A simple solution is to pack a small item in multiple packages in order to increase its size.
