[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous]How can a gun pass through the x-rays?

Maybe we should get rid of these, they just cause delays,  the security officers look at their smartphones while the bags go though, instead of at the screen[/quote]

In light of the fact that was apparently these security officers suing those x-ray machines that discovered the gun, would you like to revise your opinion?

It looks like the officers did an excellent job and deserve our highest praise. They may have prevented a very bad situation from occurring.

Of course I have revised my opinion, I am a good sense person. They indeed did a great job!

I still do not get why we had to learn what had happened from NBC instead of from the Principal. When I wrote those lines, my only info were Ms Martin's lines:
"During morning arrival the administration was notified of a weapon on school grounds. Following security and emergency protocols, MPD was promptly notified, and the weapon was confiscated during weapons abatement".

Parents would have been more reassured and better informed, had she (or whomever wrote the message on her behalf) explained that the gun was detected by the security guns at the entrance.  The use of the "weapons abatement" term, plus the reference to the intervention of the MPD, gave me the impression that police had to enter, search and clear the school. A much more disturbing and unsafe situation. [/quote]

Yeah, that email could have been SO much better.  "Weapons abatement" sounds like something frightening.  They should have said that the weapon was found by security guards to make clear that the security measures worked.  Those emails are definitely not Martin's strong suit.[/quote]
