Did you have metal detectors at your school?

Posted on May 17, 2012 by admin| 7 Comments

When I was in high school, in Columbine no less, I never had someone search me or scan me for weapons, such practices were unheard of because the kids I went to school with were not killers, oh we got into the occasional fist fight, but no mother had to cry herself to sleep because her baby died at school. What about you? Did metal detectors make you feel safer? What school more like prison? Or were you like me and didn’t have to go through that. Thoughts? Tell Matticus he WANTS to KNOW>

PHYSICS QUESTION POR FAVOR?? A new antiterrorist technique detects the differences in electromagnetic waves…

A new antiterrorist technique detects the differences in electromagnetic waves emitted by humans and by weapons made of metal, plastic, or ceramic. One possible range of wavelengths used with this technique is from 2-5 mm. Calculate the associated range of frequencies.

Are there any dangers of blending things when wordbuilding…?

Posted on February 5, 2012 by admin| 5 Comments

By blending things, I mean mixing things from different civilizations and times (but not very much off, like I wouldn’t have nomadic farmers with stone tools get laser guns for hunting) – something more like having your people dress from this civilization, use coins from over here, and maybe use weapons and tools from several different places.I guess I just mean looking up different things and just taking out ideas you like and stick them together.

However I’m worried I’ll be creating inconsistencies – maybe I’ll say they use cannons and explosives in war, but they don’t have dynamite for getting rid of some rock. Not a great example but I hope you get the idea.

And is there anything else I might be overlooking when I take from a mix of cultures and put them together, or should I not be worrying about this?

Thanks :D

Why do you think there is no way to make the schools safer?

Posted on August 19, 2010 by admin| 2 Comments

There is absolutely no way to make the schools safer. Adding metal detectors will not really help. Weapons are made of other things besides metal. For instance, pencils and pens could be used. Also, fist fighting is mostly seen. You hardly ever see anyone using weapons while in school. Who would be that dumb? Please share your opinions. It has to be about why you think there is NO WAY to make schools safer.

Can the police MAKE me walk through a metal detecting device? If so, which specific UK law enables this?

Posted on July 17, 2010 by admin| 3 Comments

I am referring predominantly to the use of temporary “weapons” detecting equipment at rail/bus stations, shopping centres etc. I would appreciate answers from relevant law professionals, if possible. Please make reference to specific applicable laws. Thank you!
Usually, these detectors are at the exit to a Tube (Metro) station in London, so they can hardly imprison a person within the station. Interesting answers so far, though.
