Trump to seek to "harden" schools against shootings

[Igel]

2. More stringent locking protocols.

Metal detectors.

More school cops.

Perhaps allowing teachers to concealed carry.

Perhaps altering the insides of the school to be more secure. Some classrooms are open, without walls. Some doors can't easily be secured. Some schools may not have CCTV on their campus or in their halls.

An extreme case would be one district I know where student IDs have RFID chips. They're registered every time they get on a bus, time and location; they're registered when they get off the bus, time and location. And once in the school, in case of a lockdown drill the administration can poll to see who's where, finding the stray kid in the hall, in the bathroom, or hiding in a cupboard or closet.

The same school has a clear glass buffer entry, so that you walk into the school and find yourself in a clear, bullet-proof glass room. You talk to somebody behind a glass panel to say why you're there and then you get buzzed in through. During the entire time, a school cop is there behind a bullet-proof screen, just in case. (And this is suburbia, just a rough bit of suburbia.)
