Wouldn't that be nice...? The wand is no longer considered effective enough for security.

So- if the question "Should I take ____ through security?" pops into your mind, the answer is "NO! You should not." If you find it questionable, they will most certainly see it as a security risk, and they could cause you more trouble than they're worth. (Ambiguity in that statement was intentional by the way... I have been labeled as a domestic extremist after all- along with the framers of the 4th amendment!) So put it in your checked luggage!! Avoid the suspicion that that dangerous piece of jewelry will undoubtedly cause!
