The federal government is looking into claims made by a company that's installing high tech weapon detection systems.

Evolve claims its systems can screen up to 1000 students and 15 minutes by using artificial intelligence to scan for weapons.
Earlier this year, the JCPenney's Board of Education approved plans to spend more than $17 million to have evolved systems installed.
The first systems will be installed later this fall.
The high tech tool is currently being used in other schools around the country, where there have been reports of detectors failing to catch weapons entering the building.
