Concerns over AI surveillance in schools are intensifying after armed officers swarmed a 16-year-old student outside Kenwood High School in Baltimore when an AI gun detection system falsely flagged a Doritos bag as a firearm.

Allen was handcuffed at gunpoint. Police later showed him the AI-captured image that triggered the alert. The crumpled Doritos bag in his pocket had been mistaken for a gun.

    Sometimes. Not usually. Nor is it something a police officer is or should stake their life on.

    But if a man with a 9mm, at point blank range, has the drop on you, think you could take the bullet, continue pulling a pistol out of your pocket and into action?

    Can and do, all the time. (Assuming you mean the royal you).

    I learn much from GunTubers, test for myself.

    How many times have you tested being shot?
