It's a METAL DETECTOR, not a Gun Detector, nor a Bomb Detector.

Which means Laptops, cell phones, keys, belt buckets, Facial hardware, and more will all cause detections. Resulting in MASSIVE delays.

Given NYC subway has approximately 5.6 million daily riders headed to work with various metal items. Imagine delay of 5.6 million people taking their shoes off and on.

Plus, a nutcase will have more to shoot or bomb with everybody waiting in line to get through the metal detectors.

This stupid idea / trial balloon is going to be a "Gunny Highway moment".

Good point there. How do you secure the lines?

#4 So, guns are illegal in NYC, so they need to install detectors because everybody obeys the law. Right?
