Ditto.
The on-screen displays in the video look unrealistic. I suspect that's just ad hype.
I could see this being useful for airport security, courthouse entries, etc. IF it actually works.
In malls and other public spaces - totally worthless. Mass killers don't tend to hide weapons or wait long times before shooting. At best this might provide 30 seconds of response time if someone goes into a scanned space with a gun. So some 50yo rent-a-cop making $12/hr can run from his booth in some corridor at the far opposite end of the mall. Useless.
Other than possible good uses at airports, I mostly see this as a way to harass non-criminal CCW carriers, both of the perfectly legal and not-technically-legal-but-no-bad-intentions types.
The New game should be; Find the emitter and cover the lens.
It will likely be six months before someone figures that out...
You know one of the factors that led to the downfall of this mall? It got to where a few years ago, you couldn't go in there without being harassed, intimidated or aggravated by the local "urban yoots" that would rove around in gangs. It got so bad I forbad my wife & stepdaughters from going without me, then we stopped altogether. This was several years before the current CCW laws AL has now, but I carried every damn time we went. It developed a WELL EARNED rep...and that along with other things is why its gone now.
I walked out into the empty place back in December...it was pristine. I do have some good memories from there, before it turned into a hoodlum hangout. Took some pics and video of the tearing down myself.
Now I go to the other Huntsville mall...its got a great knife shop. And..ICEE's and poontang. All good.

The obedient always think of themselves as virtuous rather than the cowards they really are.
I didn't move here until '14, but that mirrors everything I had been told. Only went there a couple times (begrudgingly) with the wife. Most the time we'd go to a mall it was either to Bridge Street (which has it's own problems recently) or Parkway.

just need folks to do massive protests outside any place that puts them in like the left does
massive lawsuits about getting cancer and such lack of research long term effects ! effects on children would be great you know we have to do it for the children ! from the machines and have tons of lawyers attacking the places that place them also
funny though cause the so called gun free zones will get them first then ? hahahhahah
OR better yet find out what can trigger them that acts like a weapon and is not and the moment you get stopped say no I am not carrying and let them stop you with force and then sue the freaking pants off the location and have this happen all over
So when I'm legally carrying and it sees me, what happens?
It's funny, they'll spend whatever this thing costs, but they won't buy a $500 glock.

Radar based? Hmmm...Wonder how well those scanners are protected against overload/signal saturation.
Lets figure out more ways to make malls more annoying so people shop online.
I agreed. For a company that has in more than one location I know of no camera's in the parking lots and considers $300K in loss to be "great" they aren't going to spend any more than they need to. Jacking prices would make more sense for them.
On the other side of the coin lets take into account the requirements of someone watching these scanners at all times and likely being even poorer trained than the TSA, which is just this side of rock **** bottom, and watching more screens, now add in human error, and you have a great recipe for them not even catching the weapon that walks in and does actual harm, or harnessing those who don't have anything on them. Forget the issues of those who are carrying legally. Lets also not even get into the point that guns aren't even the most common weapons in assaults and that the sports store selling baseball bats is more likely to be putting weapons in the hands of criminals than Bob's Guns and Ammo.
