Well, just like wata said- being spotted with an unreleased item is kinda liek getting shot in the webbed feet, yet unless the item is marked as bait, it's just like any other ordinary item- just sitting in your inventory- but.

But having an item may not actually be safe either: CP can come up at any time with a series of bait items which will make having them unsafe. Imagine an item whose icon contains ActionScript that gets your player banned, simply by loading the inventory page with the icon. As far as i'm aware, CP has never tried being such a jerk to player (when it comes to bait items, we all know how "thoughtful" CP is when it comes to non-members, parties and stuff), but you can never know.
