Except the people waiting behind you while you empty it will be just as inconvenienced and won't even be paid..

Is this jacket or a shirt/dress? If it’s a jacket, You can take it off and put it through x-rays. If it’s a shirt/dress, I’m not sure of the consequences of walking through security naked or in your underwear…

Wouldn’t you just put it through the xray and then the TSA will pull you aside if needed?

This is not an issue:

I've done ziplock bags for cargo short contents before, speeds security checks up a lot.
