Tetragrammaton

Hey everyone. I live in New York, but for the past two weeks i've been staying with my family at my relative's house in Arizona. While in AZ, we put a couple days aside to go to Puerto Penasco in Mexico where i purchased a sweet little bowl and a nice bubbler.
Now, according to Arizona state law, these pieces are considered drug paraphernalia and are illegal.
I'm trying to decide whether i should either just try and pack them in my checked bags, keep them on my carry on bag and put them through the x ray machine, or just try and keep them in my pockets while i go through the metal detector. I'm leaning toward the latter, but i'm also contemplating just trying my luck with keeping them in my checked bag. I'm not so much worried about the bowl because it's compact and i can just keep it in my pocket, but the bubbler is a lot bigger and is definitely gonna be a bit harder to deal with.
I know this is a pretty stupid situation and probably isn't that big of a deal, but i'm worried about security questioning me about my pieces (especially since i'm traveling with my parents)
any advice?
