Guards tend to randomly pick out people from the crowd for additional security checks.

So people feel safe while using public transport or while visitng public places. Our society is very prejudiced and posses many stereotypes which are then enforced by the guards.

The tables near the Metal detectors are poorly designed, usually only 1 table for 2 frames is used.

Because existing frames can’t distinguish between weapons and personal belongings (phones, keys, coins, etc.).

User Experience of communication with technology & security workeris far from Invisible design.

Interaction with them creates barriers on person track.

The guards are also experiencing stress caused by the frames.

The way frames operate puts a lot of responsibility on those operating them.

Why is it fixed like that? Where is the “brains”?

The operation of these frames is imperfect and can’t eliminate the human factor of guards, so it’is subjective and often discriminative. There is no special thought put into these tables, space constrains also play the role since usually only one tables for two frames is used.

They detect all metal objects on a person’s body so one has to put all metal objects on the nearby table to not confuse the frames.

It is fixed on the floor.

So people spend money on public transport or on social events.

There is a light indicator is sides, “brain” in the top.

Creation of expectation of undue attention in the context of suspicion.

Do not fit organically into the surrounding space. The process of operating these frames puts most of the duty on the operator rather than on device.

Why is the indication on the sides, if it does not clearly show where and which item inside?

It is a Russian tradition, I suppose. People with power will abuse it and public will try to stay away from these people. Because it seems like guards are picking people spontaneously.

Because there are no explanation of the reasons why guards are stopping and checking YOU.

Because guards are not taught to do so and there is no such instruction.

Because technology is not developed to the extent when it would substitute the human labour completely.

Even if such technology exists, it would be much more expensive than human labour

Settings for these machines allow only to define different amounts of metal (aluminium/gold/etc); however they are not able to read the expressions and emotions of people.

That’s why the work of the employees is important while working with these equipment, as people can take the person’s excitement and anxiety before going into the building and prevent an attack.

The installed frames are cheap and have been chosen thanks to the corruption schemes.

Public doesn’t hold officials accountable.

Steward is obliged to examine the people personally.

Because the machine has the property to break and not to work. Moreover these machines cannot read out human emotions.

The verification steps are carried out in a confined space in which the activities of the inspected intersect.

People are in a hurry, they do not wait until going ahead has completely finished the procedure.

The number of actions performed and the resources (space, officers, etc.) aimed at operating these actions (in combination with the flow of people) is not balanced.

Utilitarian applying.

In the process that performs this object, only the utilitarian value is nested.

No pursuit to design high culture.

Mentality, values.

The guard does not know what is there / does not see the scan.

Why there is no scan technology in the security frame?

Sound is a cheaper technology. And the scan is expensive

Why cheap technology is used to create security systems?

?

They are many: from 16 and more.

Why is so many?

To facilitate setting the machine in place.

Why, when the device is stationary (does not move to other points), and is configured once?

Because people pass through the entrance gates and sometimes frames stand not in front of the person, but dioganally.

Because the width of the gates might be different from the width of the passageway.

Because terrorists find new ways of hiding themselves.

Because terrorism is not about killing people, it’s about scaring them.

They create crowds and jams of people before them, thus collecting a lot of people condensed in one small space.

The frames only allow one person to go through at a time, which significantly slows down the flow.

They does not care about protecting people

Because that’s the point of terrorism and that’s how they can become more powerfull.
