Scanner Thingy...What is it?

Post by strikhedonia »

Hi,

I went to my local delivery office the other day and whilst waiting for my package I looked up and saw a large grey thing attached to the ceiling that had flashing lights on it. I have tried to search the Internet for an answer but have drawn a blank. I didn't want to take a photo cause it would of looked suspicious. So I was wondering do all delivery offices have these and what are they? Metal Detectors? Something to count how many visitors are coming into the office? Body Scanners!?

Thanks. :Very Happy

They scan the RFID chips in test letters, when they enter or leave the building.
