About this episode

In this episode we dig into a startling incident at Kenwood High School in Baltimore County, Maryland — where an AI-powered gun-detection system flagged a student’s empty bag of Doritos as a firearm, triggered a full police response, and left a teenager handcuffed and shaken. Whether you’re interested in the intersection of technology and education, school safety, civil-rights or AI ethics, this episode unpacks a real-world moment when a system designed to protect almost went terribly wrong — over a bag of chips.
