I backed The Oatmeal's Exploding Kittens kickstarter years back (game was fucking garbage and loses its novelty after the first game), and had brought it with me to Canada to play it with some friends. The two boxes each had a small device inside that meowed like a cat whenever the lid was opened. The TSA did not like that one.
This is me, kind of. I'm just brown enough for 9 months of the year and have just enough anxiety in crowds that literally every time I go through airport security, I can count on the fact that I'm going to be "randomly selected" for enhanced screening. Whatever they use to make that decision does not like sweaty, anxious looking men and/or the dark hair / brown skin combo.
I always wonder what people pack in the big suitcases. I only ever take one carry-on, and it's not even full. Clothes, phone, wallet and keys. What else do you really need?
Depends on how long you're traveling for, what you're doing at the destination, and what resources are available to you there.
Also to a smaller degree, it depends on how big your clothes are. When I was a stick bug of a teen, I was able to pack enough clothes for two weeks with no access to laundry in a small suitcase about the size of two backpacks, with room for souveniers. Now that I'm a fatass office job worker, that same space holds a week of clothes for me.
Not to mention sports coat, suit jacket, etc if it's some professional thing you're doing. That shit and the shit to protect that shit takes a lot of room.

It's valid.. I had a 9mm pistol cartridge that had gotten wedged in a tiny pocket of a backpack.
TSA didn't appreciate it.
I had no idea. Lol

We play exploding kittens almost every day 😅
What didn't you like about it? Every playthrough there's twists and unforeseen events.
Try taking an actual cat through security.

I was once stopped by security at a train station because I was carrying (in my hand) an analog guitar effects pedal.

That's where I keep all my bombs.
Me failing to hold in a fart while reading about the prohibition of "bombs" in the security line.
