I once took what would looked on camera as a hand grenade, same shape, size and 
bits of wire coming out of it - actually a motor on a prony brake - thro UK and 
USA airports and not challenged.  I suggested their equipment might need 
attention and was threatened by an armed plain-clothes person at JFK!  
On the other hand I was politely asked what that strange thing in my bag was at 
Friedrichshafen - it was a large glass envelope vacuum relay.  I was delighted 
to show the guard who asked "have you come from the ham radio show?"  

Keep your trap shut is the best advice it seems.
