I put all the items from my pockets in my briefcase...I only keep my drivers license in my pocket...NOTHING else...Besides the "bomb" test, bag seems to get through without problems...Sharp objects...what about the glasses they use in first class...break one and you have an instant "sharp object"...or take a pop can and flatten it...another "sharp object" There is no end to the possibilities...Moral of story, flying can't be completely safe...eye candy at security checkpoints just adds to problem.
