The plane landed in Salt Lake City and the passengers were rescreened.

Me too, in February. And they had me take off my shoes and everything. I put it in the tray with my keys, wallet, etc. and nothing came of it.

To be honest, I never even considered that it would be a problem until I saw this thread!
