1) You should definitely not exchange your shirts. I always wear french cuffs when wearing a suit. I just feel it is the proper thing to do.

2) I walk into court all the time and don't set off the medal detector. My shoes, some of which have metal in them, are far more likely to set the machine off.

3) If you are concerned, wear cotton knots. They are still very stylish and no metal.
