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?
