If you can't seem to get the phone to restore via iTunes then I'd suggest bringing it to the Apple store where you got it from. Especially if it is only a month old. Good luck!

What concerns me is whether this (going through airport security) is something that would harm my iPhone??

i dont think the xray machine did it, i think it had issues, thats why you got it on craigslist.
