USE OF METAL DETECTORS WOULD HELP

Use Metal Detectors At Hotels & Events

  If metal detectors had been at all the entrances to the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino in Las Vegas the tragedy that took place would have never happened.

  But the major quest to welcome guests make security take a back seat to everything.

  A medal detector is an electronic instrument which detects the presence of metal hidden within objects and detectors would have stopped Stephen Paddock....instead a half-dozen bellboys and valets were likely there to help to the elevator bank and probably even carried the suit cases that Paddock  had his arsenal stashed in.

  Paddock appeared to have little trouble bringing nearly two dozen weapons and thousands of rounds of ammunition into hi suite at the Madlay Bay.

  There are definite security vulnerabilities here so security experts say these resorts and large concert venues must install metal detectors.

  Hotels, resorts and casino's don't want to talk about this needed security...all they are interested in is getting people inside and giving them the VIP treatment and watch them spend their money.

  Stepped up security at these type of properties has to be improved.

  Technically every bag entering these resorts should be considered a suspicious bag and employees are not allowed to ask guests what's in their bags.

  The mind-set of many of these type of resorts is not to worry too much about what people are doing.

  The world has changed and those in the tourism industry have to realize what is happening out there in the real world.

  Shirley and I just attended the largest annual Gospel Quartet Convention at the Leconte Center Convention center in Pigeon Forge, Tenn, a huge facility with an over 10,000 seat capacity in the main auditorium.......no security...people walking about with brief cases and bags and no one checking them. I immediately notice things like this because of my Safety Engineering Degree I obtained in college and practiced what I learned for two major insurance companies.

  It's better to check bags, luggage and brief cases and not worry about offending your guests.
