What's the big deal? A polished, greased metal thorn, spool of carbon and/or kevlar tape, epoxy resin, electrically ignited pyrocharge (crushed minibulb with intact filament), trigger switch with a cover slip, maybe coded if you want to get real fancy, lithium cell, capacitor. There's not enough metal in the thing to trigger the metal detector, it can look as about anything (flashlight preferrable).
