I suppose the students don't want to. It takes longer.
The head of security said they are working on speeding all that up too. He also mentioned that since the random bag checks their incidents of tobacco or any other items that are illegal have gone down to zero.
So the students are aware they are being watched and their behavior has improved.
One of the admins from DC at Trump's listening sessions mentioned how they greet every student during the metal detector process. "How are you today?" "How are you feeling?" "Everything good this morning?" and people who seem off or express that they're not having a good day chat with a counselor or other similar support professional.
Said they can solve/prevent a lot of issues this way. It's expensive and takes time, but it's better for learning than armed teachers IF you had to choose between the two. Personally, I'm not in favor of metal detectors, but I like the check in process.
