Department of Homeland Security - the federal department that administers all matters relating to homeland security Homeland Security executive department - a federal department in the executive branch of the government of the United States to develop a novel security system for guest screening. The RedX system offers venues an alternative to traditional security by eliminating business barriers that inhibit the implementation of security systems such as concerns about high costs, business image, and throughput. Initially, individuals are to be screened for explosive trace residues indicative of terrorist bomb-making or explosives-handling activities; however, the system has the inherent advantage of being easily upgraded with different sensor technologies as technology improves or the threat changes. This permits the RedX system to be used as a consistent platform on which to deliver security solutions now and in the future, thus eliminating legacy investment concerns. Multiple security kiosks positioned away from entry gates, in parking lots or other waiting areas, allow security personnel more time and space to react to potential threats. The system prints a "Keepsake," which acts as a security pass, but is also a souvenir that can include venue and event information. The "Keepsake" also serves as an advertising medium.
