Forums - General Discussion - Question for TSA employees, or people familiar with TSA rules

So I was getting ready to board a flight. as I was going through TSA security check, they found an item in my bag that I had placed in there over a year ago (I don’t fly often), and had to pull me to the side to fill out some document. It wasn’t anything particularly dangerous, and I told them they could just throw it away because it was broken anyways. My question is will have any sort of effect on my background chevk in the future? I have a clean record, and am just more curious than anything, since I know next to nothing about TSA checks and google has completely failed me here. If anyone who has worked for TSA, or is familiar with such a scenario, can answer, I’d appreciate it.

Well, now we really need to know what that mysterious item was. You know, so we don't get caught with our "items".
