Amazon Brings Back Controversial Anti-Theft Metal Detector Screenings for Employees: 'Make Our Facilities More Safe and Secure' Amazon is reinstating a pre-pandemic policy bringing back metal detector screenings for its 750,000 U.S.-based hourly warehouse employees, per a new Bloomberg report. The retail giant will also require workers to register their phones so security personnel know they haven't stolen the devices. Amazon reportedly began telling workers in select test locations about the phone registration and metal detector screenings on Monday. The company is planning to gradually roll out the anti-theft measures, starting first with test warehouses and then expanding to all of its U.S. facilities, per Bloomberg. Under the new policy, employees will have to walk through a metal detector to leave Amazon warehouses to ensure that they haven't taken anything with them. Phone registration entails sharing the last six digits of the phone's serial number in exchange for an identifying sticker.
