In response to a series of high-profile violent attacks on Metro buses and light rail, riders at Union Station will be screened for concealed weapons as a part of a pilot program testing technology aimed at reducing hidden threats, officials announced today.
During a news conference in downtown Los Angeles, Metro officials demonstrated their concealed-weapons detection system, which will scan a certain number of passengers depending on the flow of foot-traffic at the entrance to the B/D Lines. If the system flags a person, they would undergo additional screening by a law enforcement or security officer.
