Reply to comment by Visible_Ambassador95 in Shots fired on Green Line Metro train, suspect flees at Navy Yard: MTPD | WJLA by Yaratam

Oh boy, I can't wait for metro to shell out tens of millions of dollars on this unproven tech, only to result in me missing my trains due to long lines and false positives. Oh and as an added bonus, there will be a nice long line for people to shoot at now.

Oh boy, 2-3k per scanner every month and thousands of false positives.

Oh boy, I can't wait to miss trains for this and to cost metro tens of millions of dollars to hire hundreds of security screeners for nearly 100 stations.

Public transit already has the problem where it's slower than a car... Having crazy security checks will only be a higher barrier to ridership.
