Came across this photo on-line. Does anyone know what this lens is? It appears to be on a Canon 5D.

I don't know, but I'm sure that Security would give it a close inspection. Maybe it's for shooting insects. : )

EDIT: It's a macro probe lens. Something new in the colonoscopy business?

If it wasn't so expensive, I'd get one just for the oddness factor.

Yeah, TSA would probably have a few questions!

I checked their web site - they have two versions of this lens. One from OP picture looks more like "cine" version.

TSA agents don't react kindly to demands. If they don't like your attitude, they will give you a hard time.

Two questions: Will a company in China come out with a version for $29.99? How is it possible to take a shot handheld?

I wouldn’t think it is a lens that could be shot handheld.
