3. That's why the scanners need to be manned by cops who guard them. Which has the advantageous effect of limiting their deployment -- paying a cop to stand there looking at a screen is expensive. As far as the scanners triggering something unpleasant, that's unlikely, since they're passive devices (receive only, not transmit).
Assuming the gold/silver are in the form of jewelry, highly unlikely it will be distinguishable from wiring at a distance. This looks like it needs a device with a specific type of antenna to scan bags or people at close range.
This is using 2.4GHz microwaves to scan for certain types of objects (large metal objects, nitrogen-containing explosives). Basically a more advanced metal detector.
Yep, golf courses and lawns, as well as fertilizer and herbicide/pesticide use on them, should be regulated with a heavy hand. Maybe not get rid of existing ones, but having a less-than-perfect turf isn't the end of the world.
Algae are plants. Fertilizer feeds plants. Allowing runoff from a lake heavily contaminated with fertilizer runoff to be dumped into the ocean has a predictable result. Science, baby!
True. It's also true that dumping fertilizer runoff into the ocean increases their size and duration. The issue here isn't the red tide per se -- it's how long it has lasted.
Red tide is natural. It's also increased by runoff containing manmade fertilizers into the ocean. The "control" part is about preventing unneeded runoff, not mucking with nature.
Fertilizer runoff from plantations feeds the algae. "Reverend" Scott cut funding for water quality enforcement, including regulating the farms' use of fertilizer. So yes, it's related. But of course, "Reverend" Scott thinks that Jeebus, concealed carry, and the free market solve everything. (Throw in a bit of Medicare fraud for lubrication, since we're talking about Rick Scott.)
With LAPD scum being what they are, there's a risk of them shooting first and asking questions later. However, any number of rude or insulting messages...
Yep, Hillary Clinton had the right idea as far as running her own domain's email, though her IT people chose the wrong system (Exchange 2003).
There's another option other than SCADA/HVAC like Johnson Controls -- work supporting research or medical IT. There are a lot of legacy/specialized instruments that won't be in the "cloud" for the next 20 years. Too expensive to just replace and forget.
Even gated subways often have many entrances and many paths for people to travel. Rail, good luck. There's not even enough money to eliminate level crossings where trains can hit cars, let along putting everything on an overpass.
Do what people are doing with NYPD bag searches. See the sign, turn around and use a different station or a different entrance. The scanners are portable, so will likely be randomly deployed rather than being deployed at all entrances.
Concealed carry isn't actually illegal in CA -- rural counties give out permits like candy, and they've valid throughout the state. Which is probably why they claim they won't be looking for "small" weapons: quite a few people in CA are concealed-carrying, perfectly legally.
Which brings to mind a countermeasure. A giant hand flipping the bird, made of tinfoil and glued to the inside of a shirt. Or the letters: FUCK YOU SWINE
Which is why the US needs a good, hard recession, if not an economic depression. Cut off the funds to the people developing and buying this garbage. Can't beat 'em, let 'em starve.
It's an IR camera, apparently ("Terahertz waves" is a fancy term for high-frequency IR), so no. Metal objects block IR radiation or radiate differently and thus are visible.
Just check the Twitter feed where deployments of those things will be identified and use a different subway entrance. All patriotic citizens who support the Constitution should do their duty and report those things to the public.
Looks like a portable device, either an IR camera or terahertz scanner, not fixed infrastructure like airport body scanners.
So it will likely be deployed at random entrances to the system. Time for a Twitter feed with locations where the LAPD is deploying the damned things, same as feeds of drunk-driving or immigration checkpoints. Be a good citizen, watch the cops like a hawk watching a tasty piglet.

Hope they build it! Trains are fun :D Hearing the weeping of anti-transit libertarians is even more fun :D

Until the serfs revolt and end up setting up Madame Guillotine for the benefit of the former nobility...
Hopefully, soon to be bankrupt...

Fortunately, there's no money to staff every transport system entrance in the LA or any other major city. The trend is to cut staff and automate more.
Unstaffed scanners would essentially be useless since people bent on doing harm would just find a way around them.

FUCK
YOU
SWINE
(more to the point)
It would probably be colder (or hotter, on a hot day), and different materials also radiate IR differently.
This is a passive camera that captures THz (IR) radiation emitted by human bodies. It doesn't produce any radiation, only captures it.

And use the next nearby station or a different entrance, same as when NYPD roots through people's bags like spastic hogs.
