I have had occasion to make several trips to the Middle East, and one in particular stands out in my mind.
On the way out from the US, I took a custom made bass guitar for a friend. He was very into Punk, and his guitar case had all sorts of Punk stickers on it, including a large one that said F*** the Queen--that got me a lot of weird stares during my layover at Heathrow Airport in England.
On the way back, I brought back a custom-made 4 1/2 foot gold and lapis lazuli-inlaid hookah with 6 pipes. It was wrapped in brown paper, but they made me unwrap it before I got on the plane, and they tore the paper so badly, I had to carry it unwrapped. That time my layover was at Roissy (Charles de Gaulle) Airport in France, and that one got me a lot of appreciative looks and knowing winks.

I don't know about weirdest, but one of my vibrators accidentally came on while my backpack was passing through the security gate @ LAX & started buzzing.
Moral of the story: Remove your batteries first!

When I was 16 I was going to visit my friend in Oregon. He loved his mom's stromboli. So she made one for me to take (it was in my carry-on). It was wrapped in tinfoil. I don't know how many times I was stopped and asked to identify the thing in the tinfoil.
No one would just take my word that it was a stromboli
