CEIA: We "Never Ever Lie"
When IPVM finished testing of CEIA's Hi-Plus, CEIA USA's CEO was adamant about them "never ever" lying, bemoaning "companies [that] have deceptive marketing and sales".
While CEIA never mentioned Evolv by name, we believe CEIA was clearly thinking of Evolv and have seen numerous weapons detector executives complain about Evolv's deceptive practices and the negative impact it can have on customers and the marketplace as a whole.
