I had to fly to Boston from PDX for a company-mandated electronics training course in 2003, and hand-carried my toolkit (minidrivers & wrenches, soldering iron, spare adapters & such. And a multimeter - basic Simpson volt-amp-ohm. This arcane technology mystified the screeners, and a simple explanation of what it was used for got me nothing but blank stares (though I do think that one of the cluster of 5 had heard the word "volt"). Finally, the supervisor asked me to turn it on, and when I did so he saw the needle bump a little and pronounced the infernal device to be safe.

Could have been packed full of C4, of course, and they'd never have known the difference.

OK, so why did they sweep the whole building? It looked like they found the suspicious package.

Or did they have nothing else to do?

Did they think another bomb - or whatever - would be in garbage?

I don't understand TSA. Just security theater.

Deb, the TSA is nothing but security theater. Why they all don't have membership in the Screen Actors' Guild or Actors' Equity is a good question.
