The past 3 years I have been there (not a CHL holder at the time), they wand me, it goes off due to something in my pockets, and they just wave me in without asking me to empty my pockets. Its been pretty much a joke.
The first time I carried there, with a full size .45ACP 1911 at 3 o'clock on my hip, the guy that wanded me completely missed my gun and waved me through before I could show him my CHL. Then of course I made the mistake of actually telling him I was carrying and we waited for about a half hour before we got the rest of the way in.
