In reply to the discussion: IF we can secure our airports, we can secure our schools [View all]fescuerescue
(4,448 posts)58. That's fine. clearly the idea isn't popular
And it won't go further at least due to my efforts.
It was worth posting however, if only for the fact that I did learn something - This sort of security is actually happening already in NYC and LA (see post above).
It's not something that I've heard about before and certainly I've not heard people getting angry about it, nor have I heard if it was successful. But it does seem to be accepted in certain areas.

It'd be very easy to mass murder a lot of people at an airport. Ever looked at the check-in areas?

You are talking about pat downs, metal detectors, bag searches for every single kid every single day

There's no shootings at Supermax Prisons! Maybe we should have Kindergarten there.

No offense, but this may be the single worst idea possible in response to gun violence

Be sure to arrive at school at least two hours before your first class.
