"No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms." - Thomas Jefferson, Virginia Constitution, Draft 1, 1776
The evolv system is no joke... I visit Disney at least once a month and it has definitely had an impact on NPE carry. It actually shows a picture of the person , not an outline and has a box around the targeted area. It hits on large and small items and uses an AI system to learn from all the evolv linked systems. The parameters of sensitivity are set by the user, it can be more sensitive to pointy objects (knives, even true ceramic) to less sensitive for just gun shaped objects. It does not like sunglass cases in backpacks... even low signature defensive objects like unbreakable umbrellas, coin purses like the mean gene one have hit on the walk through. You are pulled from the line and submitted to further screening by a security person.... it’s everything from a bag search to additional metal detection wand screening, to questioning and search by OCSO. This applies to all Disney theme parks , Disney Springs, and some of the resorts on property.

They can never take your fists of fury. That’s how I always reassured my trainees when they were new to disarming for jail.
Morgan Atwood has done a good amount of research on the evolv system. I purchased two of his ceramic China knives, for 19.95.... they are very good for normal NPE areas. They will not pass through the evolv system if it is set to a certain parameter. You can get creative with the way your defensive tools are carried by using a normal day to day object to mask them, like a cell phone. The object has to be unobtrusive enough that a cursory glance of the object passes visual inspection. The CRED from variant one and the mumert titanium credit card are very good. The spyderco manbug serrated punches way out of its size class also.
The HemiSERE is slim enough to fit inside a cell phone case, in addition to fitting in a wallet. That could be an option.

Before everyone tries engaging in activities that will end with very negative encounters with LE or armed private security, ask yourself:
1) In the grand scheme of things, does what I'm trying to do make me more safe, or less safe?
2) Does the item I'm trying to conceal have an efficacious self-defense use that reasonably enhances my personal safety, or am I trying to smuggle something simply for the sake of concealing something? Am I engaging in fantasy?
3) Do I actually know what I am doing?
I get that it's the internet and people are going to have their mind made up, but some of the shit posted in here so far is outright fucking stupid.
