I read a post on here about Sporting Event Security and it reminded me of something that happen to me a couple months ago.
I was called for Jury Duty. It was February or March I think, still pretty cold here. I had on a heavy leather jacket. I had not thought to much about security at the Court Building. I don't carry a firearm but I started checking my pockets as I noticed the metal detectors. I placed my keys and cell phone in the container and handed it to Sheriff's Deputy working the line. As I walked through the metal detector it went off. I looked at him and he tells me to take off my jacket. Underneath I'm wearing fairly heavy clothing because like I said it was a bit cold out. Anyway I hand him my jacket and he passes it through the x-ray machine. I'm waiting for him to instruct me to walk back through the metal detector. The jacket comes out the other end on the conveyor, he hands it to me and releases me. I was kinda shocked. Who knows what might have been in my pants pockets or under my clothes that had actually set off the detector. This entrance was operated by Deputy Sherriffs so I guess that was what surprised me. Maybe they are just lax because they knew this was a line of mostly people going in for jury duty.
Just thought I would share that.
