Reported from this site are 2 "toys" that DU people may find interesting

first there is "Scan It"

Scan It®is an educational and creative play toy that helps children become acclimated with airport and public spaces security. The device is both a fun toy and an educational tool. It detects metal objects and simulates an X-ray scan via a functioning conveyor belt that glides articles over its metal detector path. When metallic items are present the unit beeps and lights up.
Here is there site though the errrr toy can be bought via Amazon http://www.operationcheckpoint.com/

The other comes from the better known company "Playmobil"

Security Check-in
With conveyor belt to screen luggage and a metal detector.
