Amongst the things the TSA and monkeys share in common -- they both steal or damage property owned by others.

I am going to try one more time as well. Are you really sure that nothing can be hidden in a leash and/or leash device, inclusive or exclusive of the part of the leash being held by the handler that doesn't alarm the metal detectors?
With regard to at least the use of metal detectors, I wouldn't be so sure that a non-alarming leash/leash device in hand is necessarily any less capable of concealing some types of WEIs than a non-alarming diaper left on the monkey's diaper-covered area.

With regard to the monkey, the monkey's diaper only needs to be inspected if the monkey alarms the metal detector. If the monkey doesn't alarm, the monkey gets to keep its dignity (and the diaper will not be removed, nor the monkey inspected at all). There is no double standard between the monkey diaper and the leash. If it doesn't alarm, it isn't inspected.

But if we're ever in the same airport, I'll buy you a drink.

I'm going to try one more time. The leash can't really hide anything; there is no leash "device"-- just a leash.
Here is an example of what it looks like:

I am sure that there are some WEIs that can be hidden in or by way of a leash and/or leash device -- even a "thin leash" -- used by the handler. Some may alarm the metal detector, many others will not.

As far as what can be hidden in the thin leash, there is nothing that can be hidden in the non-alarming leash that can't be hidden beneath one's clothing that doesn't alarm.
That may be true, but not in this case.

Even if the monkey goes bananas on the TSA because the TSA spanked or otherwise abused the monkey, the TSA will still monkey around at airports as long as the TSA remains less accountable than a monkey.

And they will probably eat my Kraft Dinner, because I'll have more of it. (I usually eat Annie's anyway.)
