If I had to guess, the equipment for detecting the chemicals has to be very sensitive so that it detects the faintest traces of it (to err on the side of caution). False positives are a hassle, but a false negative could have disastrous consequences.
Very sensitive equipment has to have a ton of gain to detect small signal levels. With a ton of gain comes a ...

First of all, "explosive detectors", be it ion-mobility spectrometer or specially trained dog, do not typically detect explosives, they detect chemical markers (aka taggants), which have to be mix into all explosives produced legally since 1991.

It might be what you have described but it also might be a simple matter of where the bag had been but basically a false positive.
