That was to avoid people with evil intentions and weapons to enter the court. The courthouse is a place of explosive situations.DUTAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12979375799258978432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8085364042461678579.post-29992910929015565432017-02-17T18:17:46.908+02:002017-02-17T18:17:46.908+02:00I recently served on Jury Duty and had to go throu...I recently served on Jury Duty and had to go through one of those scanning machines. Because the weather was cold I and almost every other woman going into the courthouse, was wearing knee high boots.

However, if these are medical appointments ,she should definitely be accompanied by someone. Even a young person should not go alone to a medical appointment.<br /><br />I quite agree with your view on the medical care provided to prisoners as opposed to that given to veterans and seniors.<br />Thanks for DUTAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12979375799258978432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8085364042461678579.post-78159637248628278372017-02-06T17:39:37.346+02:002017-02-06T17:39:37.346+02:00It is sad and troubling that our world has come to...It is sad and troubling that our world has come to this. You mention that it may only be 50% successful so maybe not worth it. But say in that 50% that is successful they were able to prevent one person that would have wiped out a train station and killed hundreds. That would make the ratio quite a bit higher as you never know of that 50% that is successful how many people would have been killed.Aliciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18196096131750922174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8085364042461678579.post-78159650963639758652017-02-05T23:30:44.219+02:002017-02-05T23:30:44.219+02:00Jenn Jilks,
