      Eh, I know US-bashing is really popular here, but it has to be at least a little bit believable to be funny.

        My highschool literally had those and I had to wait in a long-ass line everyday before school, and if students are late, they get blamed for it, I’m not US-Bashing, its just the truth.

        Example (this one is not my school btw):

        Not only do i work in a district that uses metal detectors, but employs security guards to keep the kids in line. Even down to elementary level.

    I knew people from bigger cities that had metal detectors in the mid-aughts. I think they’re wider spread now, but I don’t know much about schools now. Not sure about X-ray machines, never heard about those in a school.

    In the sticks, we don’t have any of the machines. The textbooks are usually older than the pupils too and a lot of the stuff is in poor repair, so it may be an issue of funding.
