3-Discover a dangerous weapon?

[P3D <MDRobb@xxxxxxx>]

On my way back from Bellevue, I hand carried most of my 3-D purchases
with me on the plane, not wanting to trust them to the baggage 
handlers.  I put my carry on bag on the X-Ray conveyor, and walked
through the metal detector.  I passed throught the metal detector 
without a beep, but the operator stopped the X-Ray conveyor, with
my bag inside the machine.  The two operators wispered some things
to each other, and one of them pulled out the bag and asked me if
it was mine.  I said yes and he asked me to walk over to a little table
with him.  He started poking through the bag, and pulled out a 
3-Discover cassette and asked me what it was.  Well, I did my best 
to explain what the thing was, even taking out the viewer and holding
it to my face.  The one operator went back to the other operator with
the cassette.  The operator came back, put the cassette back into the
bag, and let me go.  Apparently a 3-Discover cassette is not
considered a dangerous weapon.
