Indianapolis Symphony using AI weapons detectors

[BigRed]

AI


I hate that term.
It's a "catchphrase".

It is the only kind of intelligence obiden has.

It's sad situation, as a youngster touring Indianapolis I was able to shake Izler Solomon's hand on a visit to Clowes Hall. As a farm kid I had no idea who he was or even understood what a symphony conductor was. It was part of a music memory contest in the 60s.

It has nothing to do with protecting the patrons. They care nothing of the patrons other than they are money supply for their highbrow entertainment and “philanthropy.” The detectors are there to protect THEM, the snooty elite, from the unwashed masses who might be lucky enough to save a little money to buy a ticket to a fancy-schmancy show. They can’t have a peanut gallery anymore so everyone goes through security - except for the power players.

I wonder how many of those same "snooty elites" themselves have grandkids who can't function normally without antidepressants.

Scott Adams nailed it when he said, "Republicans are afraid of Democrats taking their guns; Democrats are afraid of getting shot by other Democrats."

Very worrisome they are force disarming their patrons. What are they doing to protect them, since they've taken away their ability to protect themselves? Unarmed "mall cops" aren't going to cut it... At the very least, they need many off-duty armed LEO doing security if they go this route.

Ideally IN legislature could make legal duty to ensure guests safety. If something happens they are liabale. Either up the security for real, or cut the theater.... Oh wait. Ironys a bitch

That would be nice. If you disarm your customers, you are liable for their safety. Similar laws have been proposed in Tennessee, Texas, Michigan, Florida, and other states.

I really want to go through that thing with a few of my carry set ups to see if that thing actually works.

Now that I think about it would it be crazy if I called them and asked? Just phrase it a certain way to make them feel at ease... I don't know what that would be though...

It would be more fun just to show up and try. All they can do is ask you to leave. Nothing illegal about carrying there.

Only problem is that you would have to actually have a ticket to try it.

I wonder if a mild rouse would help I.E. "Hello good sir. I work with XYZ corp and we are a locally owned business that tests airport and Court security and we have some interest in your current machine and its capabilities. We have heard from some clients that certain factors can inhibit its effectiveness but factors that can be controlled for."

The better half and I used to send them a few bucks now and then. That stopped when I read that they were demanding proof of vaccination to attend performances.

I can get my music elsewhere.

Fun fact, they check vac card first, then security, then scan ticket. You could test it without a ticket - just saying you forgot it in your car.

Also - here is a technical talk on their sensors. It looks like its a combination of camera (EO/electro-optical), MMW (millimeter-wave/ (airport-style scanners), and HF (high frequency/metallic detection).

They look for materials and geometry to make a classification.

Even better. We need an INGO field trip.

It would be fun to watch the wine and cheese crowd get real nervous.

You need a gun just to get to and from the symphony.

True. Sadly true. If a venue wants to assume my safety with LEOs, Blarts, etc. while at the venue, maybe they should provide a gun check. Similar to coat check, valuables safes or even roller skates. Check weapon at door when entering, security does their thing during venue (while assuming liability for my safety), retrieve gun when exiting.

I watched the vid after posting. Geez. They show law abiding peeps going about typical daily events normally. Why no do-badders attempting to do bad? Who should we be afraid of? Funniest part was the roller coaster riders waving their hands in the air. Um, uh, I don't know about anybody else, but I sure as hell worry about getting shot while riding on a roller coaster.

I have a simple solution for nonsense like this. Places like this do not get my money. I'll be boring or isolated etc the rest of my life if that's what it takes. Matters not to me. I have become wary of going places with large crowds anyway. I'll take an outside activity or go play some of my own music.

Yep. Youtube is full of their music. They dont have a corner on the market. And in some cases, the view is better while hearing awesome classics. (her skills are amazing)
