They actually brag on their blog about stopping some dumb schmuck from bringing a can of soup on the plane:

People Say the Darndest Things: Here is an example of what not to say at the airport. Statements like this not only delayed the people who said them, they can also inconvenience lots of other passengers if the checkpoint has to be evacuated: An officer at Minneapolis (MSP) was searching a bag for liquids when the passenger stated: “Those are my explosives.”
