[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They are not cost or time efficient. Even the new ones that use sensor technology (so you don't have to remove metal jewelry or belts, they can detect the shape and thickness of metal weapons) take minutes per person to scan. You would also need extra trained staff to monitor the process of each student walking through and be able to respond if a weapon was found. [/quote]

PG County is doing it. What does PG County know that MoCo doesn't and can't know? Does PG have more resources and expertise than us?[/quote]

PG County also kept SROs while MoCo got rid of them despite 100% support for the program from school principals.

PG County doesn’t have to contend with the Montgomery County Council, which is primarily directed by a small group of vocal activists. [/quote]

I'm guessing that the members of the Montgomery County Council, who were elected by the voters, have a better sense of what people in the county want and are concerned about than an anonymous internet rando.[/quote]
