What do relay runners run with in their hand?
it is a baton
Is it typical for runners in a relay to pass the baton across their bodies as the US runners attempted in the 4x100?
It is typical for runners on the bend to carry the baton in their right hand and run on the inside of the lane and for the straight runners to run on the outside with the baton in their left hand. This means that the baton stays in the middle of the lane but does not have to come across the body.

Can a team still win if they drop the baton?
At the 2012 California state meet, St Mary's dropped the baton in the 4x4 relay. The announcer kept saying they were disqualified. How unknowledgeable for an announcer to make such a statement. The team is only disqualified if the baton falls to the inside of the track and it gives them an advantage by running less distance or if they run into an inside lane to gain a shorter distance or if they impede another runner then that would be a judge's call.
Do policemen carry nun- chucks?

Identify the hand off techniques used in passing the baton on relay?
Transferring of the baton in this race is typically blind. The outgoing runner reaches a straight arm backwards when they enter the changeover box, or when the incoming runner makes a verbal signal. The outgoing runner does not look backwards, and it is the responsibility of the incoming runner to thrust the baton into the outstretched hand, and not let go until the outgoing runner takes hold of it. Runners on the first and third legs typically run on the inside of the lane with the baton in their right hand, while runners on the second and fourth legs take the baton in their left. Polished handovers can compensate for a lack of basic speed to some extent, and disqualification for dropping the baton or failing to transfer it within the box are common, even at the highest level.
