Ball bearings...man!
On the other hand, I once flew with a carry-on bag that contained about a dozen 42-tooth triplizer chainrings in it. I was braced for trouble, figuring that the TSA would interpret them as ninja throwing stars, or some damn thing.
In the event, the guy running the x-ray machine just glanced over at me and said, "Wow, that's a lot of chainrings." But this was at the airport in Portland, Oregon, where everyone rides a bike. No doubt they would have tazed me in Orlando.
