NY State Senator Wants Metal Detectors in Stadiums, Theaters, and MallsBy Joshua Krause But that doesnt mean it wont be implemented under a different name. In light of the recent movie theater shooting in Louisiana, New York State Senator Tony Avella began working on a new piece of legislation. If it passes, it would force all movie theaters, stadiums, and malls to have metal detectors. Aside from the gross violation of private property rights that this bill would create, you might notice that it follows the same slippery slope that created the TSA we know and hate today. They started out waving metal detector wands over passengers, and now they X-ray our bodies and inspect our privates. Avella is evoking the same freedom-killing rallying cry used by every nanny state minion in history, by suggesting that if these measures save a single life, it will all be worth it. Something has to be done and when you think about it, its hard to realize that we live in a different world; but we do. Joshua Krause is a reporter, writer and researcher at The Daily Sheeple.

I know it sounds like a rights violation of sorts, but.either put in a security guard, a wand detector couldnt hurt and any backpacks should be searched or put in claims check, after all if not a weapon, they might hold outside snacks, drinks and popcorn that would cheat the theaters out of their monies. In all seriousness, people go to the movies for entertainment, not to become victims of some disgruntled lunatic. Not sure if metal detectors ARE the answer, but if it will deter another theater shooting, perhaps it may be the answer.
