Confessions of a Baggage Screener
wired.com

The problem is that the CTX flags a whole lot of other things with the same volume and density as some explosives. These include peanut butter, toothpaste, chocolate, golf balls, shoe heels, Blow Pops, and, believe it or not, live crabs. The device also alerts screeners to any item it can't see through: laptop computers, camera equipment, cell phones, oxygen tanks, golf club heads, and physics textbooks.

How flawed is the CTX? It stops 18 to 35 percent of all bags, depending on who's giving the numbers.
