Hmmm.

Wonder if "Hands of Blue" would notice this?

Stuff like that has been around since I was young and handso... OK, at least since I was young.

One of the varied duties I had when employed by the Dept. of Corrections was to do security audits.  We'd load up with all sorts of contraband and see how far inside the facility we could get.  (Yes, we would stop before we got deep into direct physical contact with the inmate population.  No sense getting killed over a few toys.)

Knife, knife disguised as a pen, pen gun (no rounds), 100 cc of THC resin conjugate (phony stuff used for drug dog training), 20 g of cocaine conjugate, 20 g of PCP conjugate, 3 handcuff keys, 4" spring steel strip good as lock shim/jimmy, and a cell phone through the visitor's entrance, past the regular visiting room into the no-contact visiting area and into the inmate toilets.  The only thing that was not "normal course of business" was that I was processed before any other visitors and before inmates were called to the visiting room.  To say I have little faith in a hands-on search finding stuff would be an understatement.  Heck, yes, I'm opting for a probulation as opposed to the nudiscope!

There is a common article of clothing (not underwear) that is almost never checked.  Having a pacemaker/defibrilator (or at least the security notification card for one) makes it even less likely it will be checked.  PM me if you want to know what it is.

stay safe.

I want to say a T-shirt/undershirt or sox.  However, I might just go with shirt pockets.

My guess is socks or bra. Not sure why a pacemake would affect socks though.

Did anybody else spend about 3 minutes staring at the picture trying to figure out where "killer hair" fit before noticing the link?

I wonder if you even have to remove the sheath, or if it's collapsible and you can stab thru it?

I may order a couple, for my wife and daughter.

You need to pull the parts apart.

Do NOT order them for your relatives unless you know that they can get away with having a concealed deadly weapon on their person without violating and rule/law.  These devices are well-known to law enforcement and they will focus in on anything looking like these and twist/pull/bash until they convince themselves they either found one of those deadly hairbrushes or it's so broken it can't harm them any more.

This http://www.amazon.com/Spring-Release-Push-Button-Pocket/dp/B000UPRIN2 will get a kid expelled for life.  Imagine what they would do if they found a kid with that brush.

stay safe.

Under wire bra. My girlfriend wears these all the time. And gets snagged at security every time.

To help out those who want to keep guessing instead of just asking - here's where stuff was hidden:

Knife* - inside mystery item
knife disguised as a pen - shirt pocket
pen gun (no rounds) - same shirt pocket
100 cc of THC resin conjugate (phony stuff used for drug dog training) - inside plastic ink barrel of knife pen
20 g of cocaine conjugate - inside mystery item
20 g of PCP conjugate - inside mystery item
3 handcuff keys - inside mystery item
4" spring steel strip good as lock shim/jimmy - inside mystery item
cell phone - in cell phone holster on the belt

*Here's the confession - it was one of those plastic resin "CIA Dagger" type knives.  They can be sharpened to near razor's edge and are strong enough to stab through a standard 55-gallon drum.  I do not want to catch any of you children playing with one in the TSA probulation line!

And obviously the other stuff was just not "noticed" for what it really was, except the cell phone which was overlooked entirely.

stay safe.

I used to have one of those and brought it to school to groom my 1980s hair.

I had one as well when I was a kid. I tried in vain to yank the comb part out so I could replace it with a knife blade .

When I was a kid, I bought one of those in DC and promptly walked into the White House with it.  I showed it to one of the SS guys doing entry security and he told me to keep in in my pocket.

You can admit it ... your "mystery item" was a balloon up your butt, wasn't it?

Not even  close!

As I might have mentioned, or possibly not yet menioned, all those things were "in plain sight" - nothing hidden ip my sleeve, nothing where it would be icky to look for it.

Just to make you who have not yet guessed (or asked) they were inside my tie.

My expereience, for what it's worth, is that 99% of the time nobody will touch your tie, let alone actually finger it for hidden contraband.  And since I have a pacemaker that means they have to keep the wand away from the area (usually defined by me as the entire upper left quadrant of the body) and I can avoid the magnatometer.  Since they keep the wand away from the upper left quarter they do not ask/tell me to remove my tie clip which might have set off the wand as they approach the midline - but most of the time they do not even come up to the midline from the right side.

For you medical whiz kids who are going to tell me that the magnatometers and wands will not "set off" the current crop of pacemakers - I still have one of the "security notification cards" from the days when such was possible.  Any security person that wants to proceed contrary notice to that will be meeting my attorney.  And so far nobody has refused to admit me.

stay safe.

I've seen those hairbrush items on security watchlists sent around the .gov as physical security training. I had a Spyderco Native II that flew with me to Europe, non-TSA DOD contract screeners and they did nab my Swiss army knife I threw in the change dish like it was cool. It wasn't, but they let me onto the "secure" flightline with a 120lb. female to stick it in my bag. The wallet with real knife inside went in the change dish and not through the scanner. Knife was all metal and went through 7 metal dtectors with me, I was keeping score scratched on the side until some jackwagon stole it out of my desk drawer.

I have a couple of those CIA plastic daggers, would never carry them through security unless what I was getting through to do already entailed jail time. Unlikely at best of this ever happening, if it's ever that bad for me I'm going with the Matrix lobby scene. :D

Best ever, walk into a federal courthouse, magnetometer goes off bigger than hell. I say "It's the boots." He wands my steel toes, nothing else, lets me in. Holy Jedi mind trick!

Any security can be defeated. My dad's stories about working as a contract AC&R man in the '60s in DC are quite hilarious and would get him arrested these days. Apparently the CIA does not like it when you slip your minder.
