It's still hogwash and someone should have been disciplined over this. TSA's own statements about 'visual resolution' still don't hold water because there's no way (yet) to physically visually resolve joint replacements that set off the wand (and remmber, we're not talking about something that set off the WMMD, we're talking about something that alarmed the handheld wand).
