Meanwhile, a new study claims climate change is making children more obese by discouraging outdoor exercise. The Rockefeller Foundation's slogan "Food is Medicine" is viewed as a move toward a petrochemical-based diet.

Internal memos from 2013 suggest these changes were made to "normalize the passenger experience" and reduce wait times.

The protocol also includes a total ban on cell phones within the school building. Proponents suggest these measures serve as a temporary stopgap to prevent weapons from entering campuses.

The hosts argue that while metal detectors and guards may be implemented, they are largely ineffective against determined attackers. Instead, these measures serve to keep the public in a "perpetual state of fear" and normalize "lockdown" culture.

Security at Schiphol Airport is described as having unsophisticated checkpoints at individual gates that rely on basic metal detectors. The failure to stop the Detroit suspect is attributed to systemic apathy and the rehiring of the same personnel under new agency names.

They also discuss a metal detector app for the Android G-Phone that utilizes the device's built-in magnetic compass.
