That's not so bad. I once walked through a metal detector with nothing metallic that I can think of (mobile, laptop, loose change already removed). In the end it was the condoms in my pocket that tripped the detector. Good thing the security personnel didn't further pursue my reason for carrying so many condoms in my pocket or I might be the first suspected condom bomb terrorist on the news the following day.
