Man with two handguns walked into the lobby of the University of Pittsburgh Psychiatric Hospital and began shooting.
Emergency room entrance has metal detectors and even police are not allowed to have weapons inside the hospital. Lobby does not have metal detectors.

Man was not a patient at the hospital, he was one of the two dead.

They will surely get metal detectors at the lobby now.

The Harris County Psychiatric Center has an open lobby like this one probably had. Don't ask me how I know.

What good would a metal detector have done? Guy walk in, metal detector starts beeping, guy pulls guns and starts shooting.

The same way Smoke alarms "prevent fires"
The same way cameras "protect"

Electronics ... they can't protect us until we are all androids or IRobot


or Sarah Conner ... wait ...

You can't trust electronics to "protect" you (Example: Colin Goddard's cool 911 phone)
