Ford Sends 1.0L Ecoboost Through Airport Security

Here’s a manufactured publicity stunt that is actually pretty amusing. Autoblog reports that a Ford PR person sent these pictures of a 1.0L Ecoboost block going through airport security.
This is what’s called a manufactured event, since there’s no reason why a display item for the L.A. Auto Show would go through one’s personal baggage. Regardless, it’s good for a laugh. And a reminder that I won’t be at the show, but stuck in the frigid North.

Open deck cylinders..... Not good for high boost.
I seem to recall reading that the bare block, placed on its side, wouldn't completely cover a standard 8.5"x11' sheet of paper. Pretty amazing.
