Even if the fork was metal, brass or made of kryptonite, I highly doubt anyone with a functioning brain would conclude it was a security risk - perhaps those poor silly screeners would have gone into cerebral meltdown if they know how many metal forks were scattered about the aircraft all around them, on the ground and in the air.
Oh, the horror!
