But, because if this, If they ask me to take out my wearable computer which 
is inside on of the hard plastic VHS containers, and I show them it come up 
on glasstrons, will they let me go? I have never tried to get this through 
security, as I'd be very nervous about it. But, I did however once have a 
graphing calculator in my jacket pocket that they were curious about when 
they saw it on x-ray. They asked to search, I obviously said yes, and all 
they did was rub a cloth over the pocket and scan it with an "electronic 
nose" - it seems all they cared about was certain expected explosives...but 
I'd still be worried about getting my wearable computer through...
