How much metal do you have to have on you to set off the metal detectors in a public building/venue? Or put another way: how many metal-bodied lights can I carry before I get prodded and poked by a guard who thinks I have a weapon?

I carry a sharpened titanium card in my wallet, and it has never set off the detector at work, even when they crank the sensitivity way up.I know from experience that Ti won't set off detectors (I've got a Ti bolt in my head which hasn't set off anything). If you can find a light with every metallic part made of Ti, including the emitter or bulb, connections, and battery, you should be okay. Good luck finding something like that, though.
I'm unclear as to why you are concerned. Metal detectors are great opportunities to show off your favorite EDC.
