I had a job installing CBCT scanners for dentists and surgeons. It creates
a 3d image of your mouth. We used a dummy head to calibrate it. The dummy
had a skull inside it since we needed the to align the skull with the
machine. Every time I traveled, that bag was searched. I got like 15 of
those "Searched by TSA" notices. Just a little story. I'm sure we'll be
okay.
