Security measures in American high schools can have unintended consequences that hinder, rather than help students learn, according to research by the University at Buffalo.
 

Changes to New York city's student safety act includes reporting of when kids are handcuffed in schools and when school safety agents are injured in scuffles with kids.

Security on Europe's rail networks will be stepped up with cross-border armed patrols and increased spot checks on trains.

Movie theater chain Regal Entertainment Group has begun to check bags in response to shootings at theaters around the country.

Nearly a third of moviegoers believe that bags and purses should be checked for weapons before people go into a theater, and 34% believe that lobbies should have armed security personnel and a metal detector.  

Lawmakers have proposed the Undetectable Firearms Modernization Act, legislation that would require all guns to contain enough metal to be detected by metal detectors and X-Ray machines at checkpoints and airports.

MetLife Stadium, home of the New York Giants and Jets will use walk-through metal detectors at all gates. Unless there are extenuating circumstances, no more wanding or pat-downs.

Metal detectors are now permanent fixtures outside three roller coasters at Universal Orlando.

This compact tactical hand-held detector (THD) features a highly sensitive 360-degree detection area and a silent vibrating alarm indicator, making it particularly effective for use in schools, bars and clubs, and corporate security programs.

Given an increase in violence in the hospital setting and continued attention on hospital security programs, there is a need to examine current hospital safety and security practices.
