What the petition asks
We want the government to put more security in public areas for example schools,bus stations and train station. We can do this by adding x-ray machines that will detect if somebody is carrying a knife or not.
Why it was rejected
It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
We can only accept petitions about things the Government or Parliament are directly responsible for.
Decisions about local law enforcement, including prevent knife crime, are a matter for the local police force, not the UK Government or Parliament.
