| Movie Metal Detectors |
Shreveport Representative Barbara Norton says she is already working on legislation to do so. Norton says she views going to the movies as a family outing.
"It's a sad day in America when parents and grandparents can't be safe in a movie," says Norton.
Norton plans to introduce the measure during next year's legislative session, if re-elected this fall. She says hand-held metal detector wands start at $50, while walk-through models can cost theater owners one to two thousand dollars.
Norton says no amount of money is worth more than people's safety.
"Is my thousand dollars or fifty dollars more important than a life," says Norton. "I think not."
Norton feels that legislators have a responsibility to do whatever they can to make sure Louisiana residents are safe. Some think Metal Detector could scare off potential customers and increase wait times for movie goers to get to their film.
Norton says standing in line for a few minutes is a small price to pay to save lives.
