I never tell them I have something sharp. I would just claim they never asked me (sometimes they forget to even look at my ID fer crissake!) if they ever found my stuff.
I have never had a problem with lancets/needles - I pack them in my carry-on in a big ziplock, along with prescriptions & dr notes.
The x-rays don't seem to pick them up, and even in a hand search, the TSA guy just pulls the ziplock out, barely gives it a second glance, rifles thru the rest of my pack, and sends me on my merry way.
