The same thing has happened to me many times since they have to wand my 
artificial knees every time I go through the metal detectors.  When I am 
traveling with someone else, I have the other person pick up my hand 
luggage while I'm being checked.  You can ask to pick up the luggage first 
before they wand you, but it is their option to say "no" and they usually 
will.
