[nagdu] metal detectors

[Julie J]

Gary,

I think all of that previous discussion was regarding airports.  They fall 
under the ACAA, while government buildings would be either ADA or Rehab Act. 
I'm not clear if the rules are the same in both airports and government 
buildings or not.

Thanks!
Julie
