TSA are a bunch of morons. They wouldn't know a security threat if somebody hit them over the head with it.
A few months ago a friend of mine wrote a paper for a national security class and formatted it to look like a DIA briefing. A TSA guy saw it in his bag and got all excited, thinking he'd caught a spy or something.
But it's not just TSA. An immigrations officer in London nearly didn't let me through when she found out I was visiting a Pakistani friend over there. She also demanded to know how I'd gotten the money to pay for my plane ticket.
