Security System - Metal Detector

Security is one of the top concerns that many populated places like airports, public buildings, sporting events, and political public speaking conferences need to consider. Using a security metal detector helps law enforcement and security personnel weed out those who would carry a potentially harmful weapon or metal devices into such areas or events. 

Security metal detectors are non-intrusive and come in many different models. Handheld security metal detectors wave across the body of an individual to detect metal. Walk-through security metal detectors allow the individual to pass through a large security device. If metal is present, these devices emit a loud sound. Security personnel and police inspect the individual with a physical pat-down and ask if they are carrying any weapons or metal that may have set the device off. The use of security metal detectors is common and the majority of the population is familiar with the practices of keeping everyone safe through detection.

While you are stepping through the Metaldetector, your carry-on items are going through the X-ray System. A conveyor belt carries each item past an X-ray machine. X-rays are like light in that they are electromagnetic waves, but they are more energetic, so they can penetrate many materials
