“New gun-detection system uses Wi-Fi to sense concealed weapons,” Statescoop reported Wednesday. “Chartiers Valley School District, near Pittsburgh, is the first to deploy a new technology that relies on Wi-Fi signals and AI to detect firearms hidden in bags, under clothes or in other hiding places.”
“The technology is being installed across the district’s four school buildings: two elementary schools, one middle school and one high school,” the report notes. “The district plans to monitor two entrances per building, for a total of eight devices.”
What could go wrong?
Start with privacy concerns. And while the public has pretty much accepted schools, as legally-mandated “gun-free zones,” with special scrutiny often akin to airport TSA checkpoints, it’s not hard to imagine such surveillance becoming “normalized” in Blue City “sensitive areas” by Democrat administrations that won’t let minor impediments like the Fourth Amendment get in the way of their compulsive obsession to eviscerate the Second.
