Yes, it's expensive, but I would prefer metal detectors like Jackson-Reed has.


Once a premier school district can you believe this is where they are? Do they even understand what they are planning to bring??!!!

How could anyone be up in arms when Taylor did this without telling anyone.

Not district just Taylor at his kids school from a company a block from his kids school. Nothing to see here.


Taylor does not have high school aged kids, what are you talking about? Do you mean his former HS?


DP. But his kids will eventually be in high school if they aren't already, won't they? Did families community give input?

It’s ridiculous to have a more advanced weapon detector than airport. I hope some journalist is interested in digging more, especially this procurement doesn’t appear on BOE approval list.


It's not more advanced than airport scanners


And false positives and failures to detect true positives. This is why they’re not used that much at airports.

Out kids are not Guinea pigs.


They are to Taylor. That's why he bought this without telling you.

They don’t need all this expensive tech. They need to keep bad kids out of good schools. There were reformed schools a long time ago, and when a boy got into trouble with the law the judge would say “son, it’s the military or jail, your choice.” They came out changed men.

From an earlier thread:

Lots of hype, false positives, and other failures by these systems.
