Yesterday at the hotel I buried my baggie at the bottom of my carry-on and forgot about it. I didn't think of it till I was in the middle of the security line. I did a brief search of the top of my bag to try and find it, couldn't, and decided to deal with it after it went through the x-ray. The x-ray screener did not call for a bag check. I thought, "maybe a lucky random occurance".

Flash forward: my plane is delayed for two hours and I decide to go out of airside and have a real meal (this is at DCA). On going through security the same thing happens with a different screener. I don't take the baggie out and they don't say anything.

Is this a trend, I know they can see my baggie items in the x-ray, can they see the baggie? Do they know now it's not worth the time to check if all they will see are the items in a baggie? Is this just a DCA thing?
