A client of ours sold 'puffer' machines for Siemens. (That was several years ago.) A number of household and common use items set them off. ie: some women's cosmetics, and shoes in particular. Fertilizer on sneakers from walking on lawns and golf shoes (again, fertilized golf courses) have a tendency to absorb the ammonium nitrates in the fertilizer (think T. McVeigh) and set off the machines.
But, like stated above, they do a search or some swabs and there's no further issue unless they find something more positive. I've found stray ammo in my range bag but don't use it for travel anyway because there's things in there I never take out, like misc tools, ear muffs & plugs, safety glasses, etc.
