What exactly was their problem with it?

The screener said it was difficult to see through.

I would have been tempted to write back telling them that until they improve their "failure" rate you'd be keeping an eye on them.

I went through a checkpoint once with a pocket knife. Didn't set off the metal detector but I couldn't take the screwdriver because it was an inch too long (8" instead of 7"). Later, I took the same type of screwdriver and cut just over an inch off of the handle. Same shaft length as before but was under their stupid limit.

Got pulled out of line because of a small jar of change. Was told I needed to leave my change at home.

They made my daughter go through the full body scanner 3 times and were going to make her go through again until she demanded to see a supervisor. Bunch of perverts.

For a while at work, I carried a radioactive disk about the size of a quarter for calibrations on some equipment (very low dose). If I had let that one go through the X-Ray scanner, they probably would have freaked out. But that's OK I'd be sure to leave my change at home.
