[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In the world we live in we expect instant gratification. People, especially younger, don't know how to wait for things. Yes, there might be delays but as with anything new, there will be a transition time. I have heard from school staff and parents who are at schools who already have detectors, that it takes about a week or two for everyone to get used to them and then it moves quick. So why is everyone freaking out about our poor kids having to wait in line, instead of thinking of the bigger picture, now our kids will be safer![/quote]

They won't be safer, though. They aren't making everyone who enters or leaves the building all day long go through metal detectors, so anyone can still get a weapon into the building. How do you not understand that?

How do you not understand that some protection is better than no protection? How do you know they won't be using them during the day? Where did you read that?[/quote]

During the pilot, the scanners were run only during student arrival, 7:40-8:however long the line was. Before or after, anyone could stroll into the school with a weapon.

Do you think FCPS hired full time staff to sit at metal detectors all day long?[/quote]

We live in another county. The school district did indeed hire people to monitor the metal detectors all day. [/quote]
