I'm inclined, without any real evidence, to suppose so.  Has to do
with the spook/LEO/TLA mentality rather than the scanning algorithms.

I have this vague recollection that there is an abundant and
superfluous supply of pet coke in certain places that the owners are
eager to get rid of.  And a similar recollection that it tends to come
in suitcase-sized chunks and be very hard -- much harder than lumpy
bituminous coal -- to break up and is much harder to get burning well.

So is pet coke something that might be had for the cost of fetching it
and finding a way to crush it into pea size?   Would it be worth the
trouble?  This:

was not adequate for production crushing. :-)
