Safado, I do 15+ round trips per year to a variety of cities and for the the past couple of years virtually every airport that I've been through has made people completely empty their pockets and stand, arms up, in a body image scanner. That includes Logan, where I flew out of about 6 months ago. If there is so much as a piece of rolled up lint in your pocket they will pat the offending area down.
Now they do tell people that they can hold up passports and cash in their hands while they are being scanned, but that is probably not what she wants to do if she is trying to be inconspicuous.
Like I said, my advice to Swan is to simply put it in her purse before she gets to the airport.

. That time I also had around 2700 worth of cash and like 20 condoms in a bag and I was never asked about it....but this actually made me realize not to keep my 'supply' bag in my purse/carry-on....
