No idea about the price ($49.99?) but I do have a pretty shocking airport security story.
My uncle works for the colgate toothpaste company and he was on a business trip to collect samples of a new toothpaste. When he was going to the airport, he reilized that the toothpaste was located in metal tubes which looked very similar to bombs. He decided to keep the toothpaste as carry-on luggage, hoping that he could explain himself. While in line for baggage checking, the tubes went by the x-rays no problem!
