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.

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

Wasn’t there some study that TSA caught only 30% of the weapons coming through?
It’s a giant waste of money. It would be an even bigger waste at schools.

Columbine happened well before 9/11 and the vast majority of schools, if not all, implemented new procedures to try and keep violent mass shooters out of the schools in the US.
So I'm not really sure where you are getting this talking point that schools weren't doing anything or didn't do enough...

I can’t believe this just occurred to me:
9/11 threatened politicians
School shootings do not
Look at the reactions to the actual riots and insurrections throughout 2020 and the Jam 6 protest

We need to arm and train are hall monitors

It's an attempt at a solution. I appreciate that you are thinking it through.

Because they aren’t necessary and people overreacting are going to cause lots of unnecessary trouble.

Believe it or not the security policy at the time of 911, if adhered to, would have prevented the terrorists from boarding the aircraft armed with the box cutters. As much or more destructive weapons slip by TSA ever fricking day.

For the life of me, I’ll never understand why posts like these get so many downvotes. Get the frick out of the way of your own self righteousness and admit that strict security at soft targets like schools is needed. I guarantee if it happens to your kid at their school 100% of you would wish they had hardcore security.
Some of y’all are fricking retarded.
