It seems like you can't go anywhere these days without going through a metal detector! You always needed to go through a metal detector at the airport, but now they're in nightclubs, prisons, even SCHOOLS!
The idea is to make everyone safe. It's not a good thing to have a gun in planes, prisons clubs, or schools. A metal detector assures guns won't be in those places, which is a good thing. But I am not sure its a good thing that we need them. I may be safe in those places, but I think I'll be more scared when I leave.
Maybe everyone should have their own personal metal detector!
When we were in London for a week this summer, it really made me think a lot about security. There are closed-circuit cameras EVERYWHERE. The funny thing (well, funny-strange) was that my mom's purse got stolen in a place where there were cameras EVERYWHERE. How safe will metal detectors make us? How sad is it that we "may" need them.
