Miss Sandra Wong and other public commenters said courthouse metal-detector screenings have been inconsistent and that no written policy exists; they urged the court to adopt a formal policy to avoid selective screening and constituent complaints. County Judge Martha Onset said the metal detectors were purchased using Operation Lone Star grant funds and defended their use for employee safety, saying staff were ordered to follow protocols and that a policy is being drafted by Keith Franklin for future vote.
