Body Scanners installed in L.A. -- the future is here
Los Angeles is first in U.S. to install subway body scanners
LOS ANGELES — Los Angeles' subway will become the first mass transit system in the U.S. to install body scanners that screen passengers for weapons and explosives, officials said Tuesday. Link to story: http://www.nydailynews.com/news/nati...815-story.html This will definitely make things interesting for us CCW holders. What do you guys think? |

I posted this is the OT thread:
Well this: http://media.metro.net/about_us/ethi...t_customer.pdf Refers you to note 40 which refers you to this: https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/f...ctionNum=171.7 Which has this: Quote:
https://codes.findlaw.com/ca/penal-c...ect-25655.html Which points to this: https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/f...ctionNum=26150. Which is the CCW exemption I believe But yeah I'd want a more definitive answer. |

so what is to stop someone from lining their suitcase/bag with some lead or i'm guessing putting the gun/knife in a metal box?
all the scanner will see is a metal box which as far as i remember isn't illegal to carry/have on you.

Yep. "Hey, let's put a subway in a seismically active zone. That's a GREAT idea!!"

The subway system actually works very well for those who work in downtown. The stop at 6th and Figueroa has quite a few nice shops and restaurants down there. Plus it's very convenient compared to trying to find parking there.

We're looking specifically for weapons that have the ability to cause a mass-casualty event," Wiggins said. "We're looking for explosive vests, we're looking for assault rifles. We're not necessarily looking for smaller weapons that don't have the ability to inflict mass casualties."

The emergency response time for the Sheriff that patrols the METRO is anywhere for 15-25 minutes in comparison to city PD's of under 3 minutes.
You better have some kind of defensive weapon of you choose to ride. That's a long time to be on your own. |

As I understand it, they are scanning crowds as they walk by, and making contact with people with suspected items. If you have a visually identifiable item (water bottle) , I highly doubt they are going to bother.

I did see that in the article and found it pretty difficult to believe they're not going to stop somebody if they clearly see a pistol. |

They said the scanner sees body heat and they look for things blocking body heat.
I would think that at some point my CCW becomes near body temp. Also from the demo I watched it looks like they are scanning people walking toward the scanner. I'm thinking IWB 3:30 to 8:30 may not show.
