I am not going to mention where I went, and for the love of God don't turn this into a: how do you get past security or something Admin has to lock....
So I was moving with a very large crowd to enter a stadium and passed through what looked like a metal detector. Apparently it's not. It's a 'weapons detector' that uses AI. Well, out of hundreds of people, security asked me to step aside and empty my pockets and pass through an actual metal detector. I just had my phone, keys, and earbuds, no big deal. I was carrying my pistol about 30 minutes prior but locked it up before I had to go to the stadium.
So I googled this and this is the website: Evolv Technology - Safer Zones
I found this somewhat generic description:
"The system uses active millimeter wave (MMW) and electromagnetic sensors that detect both weapons and bombs. Active scanners direct millimeter wave energy at the person being scanned and then interpret the reflected energy. Active MMW delivers results consistently and can be set up anywhere regardless of environmental changes such as lighting. It does not emit any radiation and outlines and highlights only the concealed, detected threat; and not bodily images."
Here's the tin foil part. A buddy I work with said that it, 'uses facial recognition to determine if you have an LTC' This can't possibly be true. Has anyone heard this? My thought is that it can detect gunpowder residue.
