Does she reach the office in time?

Just barely

Dana drove as fast as she could to the office. She had been desperately hoping to land this interview for a long time, and she couldn't afford to miss it. She cursed inwardly for sleeping through the many alarms she had set up, precisely to prevent this from happening.

She made it to the building at 1:55pm, five minutes to go till the interview. She entered the atrium, hoping she would make it in time. Her heart stopped as she heard a security guard call out to her.

"Security check, ma'am. Standard procedure."

He directed her to what looked like a metal detector checkpoint similar to an airport. She did as she was instructed - she took off her blazer, then placed it and her purse on the scanner's conveyor belt. She stepped inside the plexiglass chamber as the machine whirred around her. For a brief moment, everything was quiet - and then she heard the dreaded beeping sound. "Of course," she thought, "just my luck."

The guard on the other side motioned her to come forward as he took out a handheld metal detector. She complied, and stood with her hands wide apart as he began moving it over her body.

As he reached her chest, Dana saw the guard's eyes grow wide. By instinct, she looked down, trying to see what he was looking at.

What was the problem?
