Depends on what you had put in and how sensitive the detector is. Titanium does not set off THIS IS SPAM PLEASE REPORT TO THE ADMINISTRATOR. THIS IS SPAM PLEASE REPORT TO THE ADMINISTRATOR.

The total amount of metal is so small that you shouldn't worry about it. If braces, gold teeth, etc. don't set them off, a couple grams of plates and screws won't.
