Thank you.

I am traveling for the first time tomorrow since this has been put in place and I want to minimize the amount of humiliation that I will be subjected to.

Stay the curse!
I think that the rule of thumb is that if you are an electronic hobbyist, place your devices inside consumer electronics cases. It's the appearance of electronics that freaks the TSA out.
