Will a Fushigi ball get you in trouble with the immigration customs officers and the scanning machine at the airport?

I flew domestic out of Denver. The Fushigi was in my carry on bag. It got flagged when going through the xray machine. TSA searched my bag, swabbed the Fushigi for bomb residue, asked a bunch of questions, and then ran it through the Xray again by itself. I almost missed my flight. Got to keep the Fushigi.
