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.

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):

There’s absolutely no way that’s true.

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.

Also, my high school administrators called the cops on me in response to me excersicing my right to self-defence against bullying. US education system are authoritarian brainwashing camps.
