I could see a student hollowing out the laptop and hiding a weapon inside to sneak it in if thats the case

[hawski]

That is beyond silly. Unless students go naked they can have a weapon in a pocket.

The point was that if the laptop is taken out and doesn’t go through the scanner, but the rest of the student has to go through the scanner, then the laptop is a great hiding place. Presumably that scanner can at least beep at a pocket knife.

[hawski]

Oh, indeed!

But if they are not otherwise checked it would be quite useless.

don't forget...natures pocket.
