Metal detectors in schools
It was April 20th, 1999, a Tuesday, a day like every other day in the Jefferson County, Colorado, a quiet spring day in the Columbine High School, not even a mile away from Denver City. Closer to the Littleton City than Denver, this secondary school was the site of one of the deadliest shootings in a school in the history of the United States. Two deranged kids decided to take all the guns they could assemble and go to their school shooting everything that moves. The reasons for the action are as of yet not clear, but the rationale has been debated to death. The main question remains unanswered, which is why were the parents of these two not punished? Obviously neglected kids were able to prepare, hoard serious weapons, plan out and execute an elaborate massacre, without parents noticing anything? It is not fathomable why the parents of victims were suing everybody in existence, from the country, over the makers of video games, to Hollywood, but none sued the parents, who allowed these individuals to prepare, hoard weapons, buy weapons, practice weaponry (there is a huge difference between using a shotgun in the game Doom and really shooting one, the recoil alone could break a weaker individual the arm), plan the attack and execute it without hindrance of any kind. Instead making serious improvements in helping parents cope with the massacre, or establishing opportunities for parents of problem children to use a free psychiatrist or psychologist, instead of searching the reasons for such behavior not in the virtual world, but the real one, the governments did the cheapest and dumbest possible thing: They installed metal detectors in schools, starting to treat everybody who wanted to have an education as a criminal and potential terrorist. While the amount of weapons which got recovered by the metal detectors seemed to prove the notion right, many things just show that this solution is simple waste of public money and mistreatment of potential victims. That these measures of putting metal detectors did nothing that prevented lunatics of killing people is evident in the 9/11 attacks - there were plenty of metal detectors on all airports in question - and the Virginia Tech massacre in 2007. The Virginia Tech incident raised other concerns, because the perpetrator, a college student named Seung-Hui Cho, was diagnosed with mental disorders, but was nevertheless able to buy guns. The metal detectors did not stop him from shooting 32 people. Again the disturbed person was branded a monster and the schools installed additional metal detectors, ignoring the reasons for Cho’s rampage. Metal detectors are generally a good idea, but without a serious change in the American society, additional occurrences such as these are likely.
