Physical screening at Security Checkpoints is a key component of Access Control.

Undetectable Ballistic Protection in Public Spaces
Amulet technology also provides innovative, commercial furnishings and interior structures found in airports, schools, hospitals, corporate workplaces, government buildings, houses of worship, movie theaters, retail, and other environments can now also serve to protect life, as these interior elements are instinctively sought for shelter by victims of ballistic violence.
Following several years of collective effort by leading experts from the fields of ballistic science, chemistry, engineering, manufacturing, and security, our team introduced Amulet.

Thin in profile and light in weight, Amulet is designed to protect life while being uniquely compatible with furnishings typical of commercial environments.
As a result, well-hidden ballistic protection can now be placed within furnishings without impacting the look, feel, or comfort of the host furniture product… delivering virtually invisible protection deep within the public space.
Amulet is not only designed to invisibly help protect by absorbing the impact of bullets and shrapnel, but also works in concert with human behavior.
Should gun violence occur, Amulet performs in ‘real-time’ as events unfold, shielding users as they instinctively ‘duck and cover’ behind commercial furnishings common to public spaces.
Consequently, furnishings and interior structures embed with Amulet can now also serve as a life-saving device that requires no training to use effectively.
