The issue here is not about scanning - the mall was stormed by a group of heavily armed gunmen. Most security measures are insufficient here - unless you also had a group of heavily armed police to counter such an attack at the mall. <br>

That is a loaded question that may elicit varied responses.<br>
1. Is the industry responsible for the gadgets used to scan people as they enter Malls and such like places?<br>
2. What kind of technology is hence required to enhance the efficacy of the metal detectors? I have heard that they only detect such things as car keys...?<br>
3. Would a full body scanner such as those found in airports suffice? <br>
4. Can the industry pass legislation requiring all buildings have these body scanners?<br>
5. In the Westgate case (condolences to all affected), what technology can be used in the event that gunmen walk in shooting???</p>
<p>Food for thought </p>
