NYC Mayor Adams floats 'new tech,' bag checks on subway system to detect weapons

New York City may be rolling out new technology to prevent future terrorist attacks, according to the mayor.

"With the gun detection devices – oftentimes when people hear of ‘metal detectors,’ they immediately think of the airport model," Adams said. "Those are not the only models that are available. There are new models that are being used at ball games or parks, hospitals, where you're not stopping to go through your belongings. You're simply walking through a device."

Adams added in an interview with news radio station 1010 WINS that periodic bag checks may also be introduced.
