I've gone through some gates this year where they wanted me to put keys, phone, etc in the little plastic bin and other times I'm holding my keys, ready to put them in the bin and they just wave me through, not requiring me to put anything in the bin. I'm assuming the keys in my hand sets off the detector but they have no idea if I may have some other "non-acceptable" metal item in my pockets as they just assume the keys were the item that set the detector off. yup, that just feels like going through the motions to me. what's the point?
