I assume the bag image looked really strange and only upon opening the suitcase did they discover it was cheese and not an explosive. That would seem perfectly reasonable to me. I don't think they saw the bag image and said "look, cheese wrapped in wire" and then proceeded to open the bag.

What I don't understand is how cheese wrapped in wire is a "threat" in any way.
