The qualifications you're making to the TSA's actions are a little bit generous aren't they? Given that a regular agent can't tell the difference between that cartoon contraption and an actual dangerous device, what's the point of having them in the first place? If all they can do is flag up anything that looks vaguely electronic and unusual, then they are completely useless.

Besides which, in this case they managed to determine that the watch didn't have any explosives attached, but they still arrested the guy anyway.
