Question

A search of the web will find the following text in many published employee handbooks:

["Possession of weapons is prohibited on company property and while on duty performing company business at any location. Any employee on duty or on company premises in possession of a weapon will be subject to appropriate disciplinary action, up to and including termination. Report any weapon possession to your direct supervisor, a member of the Human Resources department, or a member of the Executive Team. Weapons are generally defined as guns, knives, and other objects, universally considered a weapon by the vast majority of society. A “weapon” also can be any object which would do harm to another when used as such. This organization shall deem any such object a “weapon” for the purpose of enforcing this policy."]

Recognizing how frequently the above paragraphs are used within published employee handbooks, do you think the above text clearly communicates the organizations’ intent without any risk of misinterpretation or can it be misinterpreted?

Explanation / Answer

Possession of weapons is prohibited on company property and while on duty performing company business at any location. Any employee on duty or on company premises in possession of a weapon will be subject to appropriate disciplinary action, up to and including termination. Report any weapon possession to your direct supervisor, a member of the Human Resources department, or a member of the Executive Team. Weapons are generally defined as guns, knives, and other objects, universally considered a weapon by the vast majority of society. A “weapon” also can be any object which would do harm to another when used as such. This organization shall deem any such object a “weapon” for the purpose of enforcing this policy.

ans:

For defense purposes, the military has an ongoing interest in reliably detecting the firing of small arms weapons and the launching of larger weapons such as rocket propelled grenades (RPGs), mortars, tanks, artillery, rockets, and missiles. Optical, Infrared (IR), and acoustic sensors exist today that can detect these weapons. However, these detection methods have not always proven reliable and do not work as well during obscured environmental conditions caused clouds, fog, dust, and rain. Passive Radio Frequency (RF) detection of these weapons could provide a benefit over other methods by providing fast detection through obscured environments over extended ranges. Since 2003, we have developed and deployed sensors capable of recording and analyzing RF emissions acquired during small arms gunfire and during the launching of the larger weapons. The basic phenomenology depends on the type of weapon, but we have shown that RF detection of these events is possible.

there are severl other technology that are used to detect weapon like metal detector which detect metals specially. some times misinterpretation can be occur in such technique.

The technology has significant potential to provide extra security in a wide range of applications, and while not entirely infallible, is significantly faster and less intrusive than the use of metal detectors.

radar is also used to detect weapons.

A computer is programmed to recognize the pattern, searching for a particular glare on the subjects chest, such that a hidden metal object might create. The technology focuses on the pedestrian's chest as it's both a common place that people hide weapons and acts as a fairly smooth backdrop, making it easier to pick out anomalies.

The techniques could be used to scan large groups of people, with each subject taking less than a second to process. This would then allow security personnel to closely observe the individual in question or even take suspects aside for more comprehensive scans
