The article mentions machine learning. So, it triggers, they search you, they find a thing that is not a weapon, they update their database and comp you something for disturbing you.

Of course, they could as tgb suggests just ban anything that triggers their limited tests but that would impact income once word got around

But until that happens, a casino is consistently getting false negatives. What happens when the trinket for sale as you're exiting Cirque du Soleil looks like a machine gun to the system? Suddenly, you've got dozens of people held up at the entrance. At best, that's a customer service annoyance; at worst, a bad actor could use this to their advantage.

Then they put a sign up saying "please remove trinket from pocket". This really doesn't seem like a huge problem.

Sure it does. Who's going to go because they constantly get stopped?
