State capitols
Every visitor to the capitol, screened the same way.
HEXWAVE detects metallic and non-metallic weapons, shows your officer where on the body to look, and screens without physical contact.
The search after the alarm
Screening failures happen at the search
When the U.S. Capitol Police reported on a year of screening failures, the equipment was not the cause. The failures came in resolving alarms.
HEXWAVE shows the officer where on the body an item was detected before the person reaches them, and the lane holds until a named officer clears the alarm.
“a faster, more dignified, and respectful screening process”

How HEXWAVE answers it
What changes at the entrance
A directed search
The officer knows where to look.
On an alarm, the location of the detected item appears on a body outline before the person reaches the officer.
Equal treatment
One lane for everyone.
HEXWAVE screens people of any age, people who are pregnant and people with pacemakers or artificial joints, so legislators, staff, school groups and the public can all use the same lane.
A dignified screen
No contact and no stored image.
HEXWAVE screens without physical contact. The officer sees a generic body outline, not a picture of the person.

Fits a historic building
HEXWAVE stands free on wheels, with nothing bolted to the floor and no structural work. Each panel plugs into a standard outlet, and the system rolls to another entrance without tools or a technician.
Just Walk.
For entrances that can give you a screening lane and cannot ask people to stop.
Walk. Turn. Go.
For entrances that can give you a lane and can tolerate a brief pause.
Walk. Spin. Go.
For entrances that cannot give you a lane at all.
What it does not do
- It screens people once pockets are emptied and hands are free. It does not screen bags, so your bag screening stays in place.
- It shows where on the body something was flagged. Your officer identifies the item.
- It runs indoors and in covered outdoor locations, between 42°F and 95°F.
