Big Brother Is Watching: Report Says NYC Considering Subway Gun Detectors

Simon Kent 1 Jun 2022

Deploying high-tech scanners to spot someone carrying a gun into New York City’s subway system before they have a chance to use it is an option under increasing consideration by Mayor Eric Adams (D), a report Wednesday details.

AP outlines the argument in favor of random weapon checks has returned in the aftermath of a mass shooting on a New York City subway train.

Security experts counsel installing such a system in the city’s subway system has distinct challenges but is not impossible.

The fact scanners need to be accompanied by human operators to confront people carrying firearms illegally is the main problem rather than the availability of the technology.

If approved they will help stem one aspect of the violence that is increasingly coming to define the porous mass transit system.

* The scanners would discern between a metal gun and a metal laptop?

* With efficient crowd management?

* Fast enough for an operator to act?

* Act meaningfully?

Howzabout first ending the revolving-door book-and-release fiasco and take note of the effects of keeping a few hundred thugs off the streets and remaining thugs knowing they will be held when arrested rather than turned loose.

Doggone, it, Pete, you're making sense, and you know that doesn't work with leftists.

I just see something like this shifting the scene of the shooting up by the front gate, which might make it easier for the shooter to get away...

You, of course, are right. Lock up the thugs, throw away the key, and quit promoting 'thug life'...but that would mean 'no G' for the 'OG' crowd...
