Today we are going through walk-through metal detectors to enter courtrooms, airports, and even in concert halls. But back in the 1920’s the first walk-through metal detectors were not invented to find weapons. They were invented to detect stolen metal objects. The first walk-through metal detectors date back to the 19th century, but in the 1920s, two scientists in Germany devised a way to detect stolen machine objects in factory workers without having to exercise physical control in each working one by one.
