In reality, couldnt anyone use 4 AA batteries, scotch tape, and a plug to make the same device on the other side of security? All those items are easily accessible on the other side of security. Unless they find actual explosives then it should be good.
There you go using common sense again!
I guess you just don't get it, do you???
