They drop the pellet side of the shell into a little handheld device that shoots some sort if waves thru the shell to tell what the shot is by it's density and resistance to the waves. Don't know what exactly it does, but that's the jist of it. Found that out when I was using my dads old shells that the paint wore off, and it ended up being lead. Oops. Lesson learned the hard, $127, way.
They have the same thing here.
The state trooper that checked me 2-3 years ago put every single shell I had through it. It has a red and green LED and if the red one lights, they write you a ticket or a request to appear, depending on how their day is going. Funny thing is, he didn't ask anyone else for even one shell.
