Not if they recognise one of them as a personal item. I once carried three items total - one very small carry-on, one small laptop, and a very small extra item. I got an exception tag from CX. The guard immediately asked for the tag before I could take the third item in.
If I feel I may be stopped, I may as well ask for the tag at check-in.
