It's a waste of time and resources for everyone (time for passengers, resources for the state.) It was MY POINT exactly.
People get afraid of terrorist attacks (like Dr Meh here) and start thinking that posting some metal detector at the entrance of a building is going to stop terrorists from just blowing it up right there (thus killing anyone going through the detector at the time.) It's what they want you to do. Disrupt peoples lives without reason just because you're irrationally afraid of a beheading that happened in Iran versus the 10,000 fold increased chance you get rammed while driving your car by a drunk driver.
There's a big difference between a seat belt (proven to SIGNIFICANTLY decrease death and injury from car accidents) which is super cheap to install in cars, and consumes 1-2 seconds to put on, and a sleuth of "increased security" measures which would means hours of delays and lots and lots of money to spend on, while at the same time being basically absolutely inefficient at stopping anything really.

Most gun lovers are republican. If you declare your love for guns on a public forum I'm going to wager that you're republican. You think I'm wrong? Most anti-gun advocates are democrats. Not all, but most. Note that I wasn't saying one is bad or not. I was merely stating statistical facts.
Anyway, let's get back on topic here. No metal detectors at WSOP please, thanks haha.
