I don't think that the rapidwinder being pointy is the issue. The
thing is a trigger. It looks like a trigger, acts like a trigger, IS a
trigger. Do you think that a bit of tape around a gun would get you
past security? Maybe just some tape around the trigger would let them
know you don't intend to use the gun as a weapon? 

Perhaps the ignorant and half-asleep TSA folks wont notice, but the
others won't be very pleased to see it and truly don't have time to
listen to you explain how that trigger is a device for your
camera. They don't care.
