Everything I've heard about TSA screening tells me that there's no easy way to predict what they'll object to. It really does depend on who's doing the scanning and what their mood at the moment is.

If they can see it clearly, they'll be less likely to want to inspect it physically.

That's a valid concern. Maybe you can mail it? It won't be the same as giving in person, but it may be a safer, more reliable option.
