Evolve is a non-intrusive, touchless walk-through weapons detection system that can differentiate between threats and non-threats both on an individual and in the bags they’re carrying.
The system is designed to detect potential weapons, including firearms. Common items that may require additional screening when stacked next to one another include: large portable battery packs, laptops and laptop chargers, Altoid tin cans, hard-sided sunglasses cases, metal business card holders, certain types of RFID wallets, large camera equipment, and umbrellas.
Firearms and illegal items will be turned over and dealt with by our Security Department. All other non-prohibited items will be returned to their owner after scanning is complete.
