Even though it was a short week there was a lot of good stuff on the Flakes show.

First we found out the superintendent of schools in Billings said that metal detectors don't work. So we ran down an impressive list of everything that has been found at airports across the country and other secure places that use them. Totally reckless and irresponsible.

The Billings Gazette reported on Dec. 11, 2022:

Upham said he spoke with representatives with the school safety firm Secure Education Consultants Friday who said they weren’t an effective deterrent to school shootings.

Remember if you missed listening to any of this, it should all be available on our podcasts that you can find on our website. Check it out.

See ya Monday at 5 a.m.
