    Why don’t hospitals install walk through metal detectors you have to go through to get in the room? Like airports have before you can get to the terminal.

      I think metal detectors may still miss small objects and give a false sense of security

        I don’t know… Even a metal detector wand? What can that cost? I see them at concert venues and ballparks. MRIs are notoriously expensive and they can be borked when hit by metal. I feel like safety precautions (for people and for cost savings) would far out weigh the cost of metal detectors. And like I said, metal detecting wands are probably super cheap.
