A pilot program testing AI-powered weapons scanners inside some New York City subway stations this summer did not detect any passengers with firearms — but falsely alerted more than 100 times.

        Recreational weed has been legal in NY for years

          Not if there is a federal agent. It is legal here in NM but the feds are constantly seizing pot because it is not legal at a federal level.

            It’s gonna be fun when it’s legal in all 50 states at the state level, but still illegal federally.

            Wait, did I say fun? I meant bullshit. It’s going to be bullshit.

            That is up to the state’s attorney general whether to go after drug offense or not

              I guess tell that to the federal agents seizing legal cannabis.

            I don’t think federal agents are using these scanners to find people carrying weed

      They wanted a subway gun crime deterrent, they just found it was much easier to build a subway deterrent.
