Ted pulled one out of the air:

What old trick?  I don't remember hearing about the 747 brought down by
explosive Kodachrome.  Why pack explosives into film canisters when you
could stick it in condoms and shove them up your back end?

This whole crap is just an exercise in arse covering by the airports who
need to show they are doing something, anything about security no matter how
irrelevant.  I walked onto a flight from JFK with a four foot wire cable
release in my bag that would make an excellent garrotte and the guy in front
of me had his plastic Bic razors confiscated.  

I feel no more or less secure flying than I did on September the 12th it
just takes me longer to get off the ground.
