[quote=Anonymous]Our non-DMV district has had them for two years. They’re a joke. No matter how they try to calibrate them, they still set off the weirdest things. Say good bye to three-ring binders, metal water bottles, eyeglass cases with small, metal piano-style hinges. Band instrument cases are nightmares and kids with certain medical devices get hassled more than they should (or have more people than should know of their issues). Our Board likes to preen that they’ve found “no” weapons but…that’s just because they haven’t “found” them, not that there weren’t any. The kids (and parents!) know how to fool the systems. And their decisions on when to run the detectors at after-school events is inconsistent at best and biased at worst. Run at football and only “some” basketball games but not concerts or volleyball games. It’s been an expensive ticket (time and money) just so they can say they’ve “done something.”[/quote]
