Debate of metal detectors
There are several debates on metal detectors which currently are being discussed among the public. The one refers to the metal detectors in schools and other public places; the other refers to the hobby metal detectors being used for relic hunting and other lost or buried stuff. Metal detectors in schools seem to only harass regular student and potential victims. According to the statistics, since the Columbine High School massacre, which prompted the deployment of metal detectors in schools and today, more school shootings occurred than before the said deployment. In the United States, there have been six school shootings in 2008 alone. The worst school shooting in the States ever, the Virginia Tech massacre, happened in a very well guarded and with metal detectors protected school. Thirty three victims were not helped by the metal detectors, because determined individuals, like the student which perpetrated the mentioned massacre, simply circumvented the precautionary measures. That metal detectors as security measure are actually no good was blatantly evident with the 9/11 catastrophe, where the terrorists had no trouble bringing the knives, which were used as weapons, on board. Little has been done to improve that circumstance, except for additional hardships to travelers and bankrupting the air travelling business. The debate over metal detectors being used to recover lost or hidden treasures and relics mainly focuses on the code of honor. Very often relic hunters find jewelry, coins, money or other artifacts which actually belong to someone and have been lost. The inclination to find the rightful owner is nonexistent. Other relics which are being found actually belong into a museum. There are not many relic hunters who follow that code of honor. The overall attitude is leaning towards personal gain. When someone finds jewelry, rare coins, or anything of value, how inclined will he be to return that find to the rightful owner, once he or she has discovered their true value. Even if a reward has been issued for a successful retrieval of such treasured items, the fact remains the same; the found items are never reported. The law is actually that all items found need to be deposited with “lost and found” places or with the police. In case no owner claims the items within a certain amount of time, then the finder really becomes the rightful keeper. In the UK the law is even more rigorous. Found items actually belong to the crown. Needless to say that British relic hunters are even less likely than the American colleagues to report a lucrative find.
