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.
