9/11 changed security at airports forever. Why don’t schools have the same measures?

Airports were easily accessible, and were not secure enough. That permanently changed in 2001 after terrorists used them to commit a mass murder. If you’ve been in an airport pre and post 9/11, you understand. We all agreed that security needed to be tremendously improved. Sure it sucks sometimes, and the TSA can sometimes be nitwits. However, we all have seen footage of the carnage on that Tuesday morning in September. Thanks to increased airport security, an airplane takeover isn’t something I fear anymore. It was obvious that security needed to change, due to the fact they are easy, sitting targets.
When are we going to acknowledge that our children, who legally must attend school, are easy, sitting targets? Do we not have enough data? Are there not enough patterns? Do 3,000 children need to die at once?
Drastically increasing security at our public schools is the only answer I see as being obvious. Our kids will have to adapt, like the rest of the traveling world did after 9/11.
Create jobs for our veterans to be armed guards, one way in and out of each public school building, etc.
Why is this a bad idea?

Have you been to an airport recently?

It has some. In the 70s you had a gun rack on the back window of your truck. Not the same now. They now have resource officers.

They miss something like 97% of contraband. Great use of resources

Let’s have checkpoints at every state line too

You really want a TSA agent dillying with your daughter? Just think of what will happen at school.

Don’t know.
But I suggest everyone who cares about their kids make the sacrifices necessary to homeschool.

And you want an expansion of the surveillance state? Do you not see where this ends?

It’s really as if all these adults are admitting they’re children and want a central authority figure to tell them what to do, what to think, and how to behave. Do you idiots not see where this ends?
I’m not going to hear from people judging the Germans going for Hitler when if a modern day one rose they’d eagerly bow before and call people like me warning them of it’s inevitable ending as nuts. I will never bow or accept authoritarianism in any form. We are a society of fricking cowards and lemmings.

Because we can’t afford that after sending 40 billion to Ukraine. C’mon man.

That’s beside the point. What else would it do? Would it strip me of my 2nd Amendment rights if I call for multiple members of the FBI and the government to be tried for treason for betraying the people of the United States? I’d say yes, because it always ends like that.

So do you have any ideas for solutions to prevent this? You’re making it seem like the answer is obvious.
