If I was traveling with Filiskos, I'd make sure they were on my person too.

Regarding the episode described above, my guess is that in these days of H1N1, fewer security personnel in the USA or elsewhere are likely to pick up something that's been in someone else's mouth and jam it in theirs.  

But there are always exceptions.
