Has this idea been discussed about school safety?

I was on a University's campus recently and I noticed each classroom had a card reader by each classroom door.
Are high school students issued these RFID cards that are used at door entrances?
Certainly each reader could be programmed individually and can be setup to only allow entrance to where the student needs to be.
Further, if actively monitored, a student's badge can be disabled if he didn't arrive at school at the proper time. Therefore, he could only come in a certain entrance after school has begun.
Certainly won't totally eliminate a mass shooting attempt, but perhaps it could mitigate it and provide kids more safe places to hide inside classrooms that stay locked.

That would prevent shooters who are not students, but aren’t most school shooters students that go there?

Sounds like a step in the right direction

It’s easy to tailgate to get past that type of security.

I was a penetration tester for a while, ie someone who gets paid to break into not only software systems but also physical security like this,

If the card reader allows students to access every area that requires one, throughout the school, then that doesn't prevent a student, who is shooting people, from getting into rooms.

For someone who doesn't have access to a card, all it takes is setting off the fire alarm or doing something to get people out of the classrooms.

It couldn't hurt and could possibly create a problem for someone who is planning on shooting up a school, but something like this, they would adapt to (find away around it).

From a practical standpoint, can you imagine the shite show EACH AND EVERY DAY when fifteen percent of the irresponsible little shits forget their key cards?

NO WAY the administration and teachers aren't going to just prop all the doors open within two weeks.

The hallmark of a good security process is that either:

A. It is so simple that people don't mind doing it.

or

B. Your personnel are so disciplined that they will adhere to the process without fail.

You rarely if ever get B, certainly not in a school, and this idea isn't A by any stretch.

There are too many people peddling expensive tech solutions to gullible school administrators.

They can literally shoot through a window or follow behind somebody coming in. Good ideas I doubt come from anyone that would post them here to be taken

You're expecting 14-17 year olds to keep track of those things.

Half of our employees can’t keep up with their badges on a regular basis. You expect high school students to????

Perhaps fixing the mental health problem in America is part of a solution?
