It's probably up to whoever is analyzing the x-ray screen where all your stuff shows up in different colors. This guy saw a bunch of metal implements he didn't like, and that was it. I explained that it was "equipo para explorar las cuevas", and that's when he picked up the micro-rack and mimed killing his buddy with it.
BTW, I resent the "try not to look like a dirty hippy" comment. Some of us have to try pretty hard and still don't quite pull it off. Try not looking like a smug Kiwi and see how far YOU get.
Keeping the dirty thoughts on the inside is the real hard part. Just ask my wife, who goes through the millimeter scan machine with middle fingers held high. Every time.
