Carry-on is one thing, checked luggage is another. I don't see how an electric blanket would be any different than packing a hairdryer, cell phone charger, or any other electrical device. If they can't tell what it is on a scanner, they'd just pop open the suitcase, see it's an electric blanket and move on.
