Letter: Empty gesture

To the editor:

I was surprised to see that our local Hollywood Theater (movies) on south Iowa is searching handbags. Besides being a violation of our rights, it will be no good against a determined gun smuggler. You need X-rays, metal detectors, and body pat-down searches.

But that would cut into their profits as much as the (badly needed) new seating, so we can be sure it won’t happen. In the meantime, there are better movie alternatives in Olathe and your own living room.
