Protect the Captial

This blog is called the "DPS plan would put x-raysa nd metal detectors at Texas capitol entrances" by Scott Henson. Scott writes about the DPS plans are to put metal detectors and X-Ray machines at the entrances of the state capitol to help support in "gun detection." Scott disagreed with this decision on this plan. He does not want to see the culture at the city hall to dramatically change. Scott is saying that if they have metal detectors and x-rays at the capital, this would cause the people to form a line and the shooter could fire off shots outside the capitol. This would affect innocents' lives to be in danger while waiting to go through the metal detector. He thinks that it would be a waste of time for security to mess with the visitors with metal detector.

He presented a schedule to show that the Senate Committee on Transportation and Homeland Security will join together with the House Transportation Committee to talk about the DPS plans. He wrote how this idea was considered after 9/11 but a man fired off a gun at the capital and backed up this by a presenting a article.

I like how the writer expressed his opinion. I think Scott's credibility is all right. He gave us a link where he got the data and told us some information about it. He used it to back up his statement.

I think that it is a good and bad idea about this. It is a good idea that we can feel protected at the captial, but people do visit there and also childern. There is a lot schools do field trips. I think it would scare the childern everytime they go. On the other hand x-rays and metal detectors would make people feel safe when they go. It would make people feel better by thinking that there won't be a man firing his a gun at the capital.
