Flying from Chicago back to Tucson i had placed all the mugs that i really didn't want anything to happen to into a carry-on bag. The bag went through the scanner and i was pulled aside and escorted to another area where the TSA agent proceeded to start taking everything out the bag and by this time my partner had joined me and asked what was going on. I had no idea so i asked the TSA agent what they were looking at/for. She showed me the 'anomaly' on the screen and all i could think of was "What the hell is that?". As far as i knew the bag was full of nothing but mugs wrapped in bubble wrap. After getting to the unknown object and unwrapping it a huge smile came across the TSA agents face. She showed me what it was with a bit of a chuckle, left me to pack everything up (of course) and let me go on my way. It was large(ish) wooden carving of a Ku i had forgotten about.
