Oh, just the regular stuff
as if bringing aboard some lens fluid or lipstick can possibly cause a plane to be hijacked or crashed
there are better ways to do this, and they're all focused on the fluids now

It's true,
I had a (plastic) bottle of water taken off me and my pencil sharpener (I was going to do a week's North Shore tour as the journo).
Amusingly (?) I had my Gerber on my belt, which set off the alarms. I said 'Oops', removed it, passed it through the scanner beside me and then put it back on my belt.
No pencil sharpener, but a fucking great knife is okay?

Yes
I'm been in several such scenes. It's fucking insane.
The other day I heard some explosives expert say on the tv that there is only one possible fluid that can blow a hole in the hull (without using several components, more than a litre worth of fuel and a detonation device), and that's nitroglycerine.
And you won't be able to carry that on board without blowing up ten times before that.

indeed, they make you take off your shoes and hand over any bottles you have.
and treat you like a terrorist because you wear a hat. i witnessed it all when i tries to embark on a flight to america by accident.
