I've got to drop off a copy of a video of a guy stealing a trailer at our church to a deputy today and she gave me directions to just tell the people at the metal detector what I was doing and I realized before I go in I need to strip down... I mean obviously I won't be carrying but I also need to remember to remove any of the other metal objects I have on my person every day. Not only a Swiss army knife and tape measure but a Gerber multi tool and my bottle of nitroglycerin tablets and the spare magazine... now that I think about it... will copper set off a metal doctor... I have two sheets of copper in my wallet to protect my credit cards from one of those scanners....
In thinking about this, wife and I had to go to the new county office building back on October to apply for absentee voting and we went through what looked like a set of metal detectors to get in the building and I did not set them off... but there were two deputies sitting behind a counter looking at a monitor as we came in. I'm thinking these new machines are not so much metal doctors as scanners that can see what you have hidden on your person.
