Every crisis is an opportunity to erode privacy and freedom.
Every crisis is a test, pass or fail. this looks like a fail to me.
These were implemented (as well as the mesh versions) the year after I graduated high school, which was in 1994. If I recall correctly from friends and siblings still in high school between 95 and 2000, student ID’s and fences limiting campus intrusions to a main entrance also sprang up. Currently, as a contractor working within public and private schools in Northern Florida, it is extremely difficult to gain access to the building without being buzzed in. We are also issued credentials verified through State and Federal checks, that must be worn at all times. That said, the climate inside the very schools I attended as a child are vastly different. It wasn’t a Rockwell portrait of days gone by, but the volume of ridicule and bullying I hear in the hallways is depressing.
You are correct. In fact a lot of inner city schools implemented metal-detectors and clear backpacks during the late 80s and into the early 90s.
Anyone notice that the majority of these shootings are in white, upper & middle class suburbs? I am hard pressed to recall any inner city school shootings in the past decade.
Liberal racism at it’s finest; “Clear bags for those poor minorities, but not for us”
I don’t really get it. What if they carry IWB like many of us? What’s next clear pants and underwear?
Also, I bet that clear plastic can’t hold up to many pounds of books over the long term either.
Failure on many levels.
This is what happens when we put people like Hillary Clinton’s homeboy sheriff Israel in charge of things. First, we get Esteban Santiago-Ruiz, then they claim Nicholas Cruz shot up this school even though he was doped up unconscious on the lawn in arrest videos, now the kids gotta carry their news weeks in cheep ass clear backpacks. Broward county, FL = S***HOLE county.
Care to comment on sandy hook, vegas, and 9/11?
Asking for a lizard friend.
I don’t know much about sandy hook or what went on in Vegas and if you can’t tell the twin towers were demo’d, with your own eyes using readily available video footage, I wouldn’t know what to tell you.
Shhh!
these were required at the last 3 airshows I’ve attended so maybe the pentagon is on it too!
I feel more secure from the constant eminent threat of random terror attacks in America already by simply reading this article. Thank you to all in this niche industry for keeping us safe, secure and thoroughly monitored….
M-kay… Clear backpacks and bags. Got it. Now, all we need are transparent contents, and nobody will be able to hide a gun in, say, a rolled-up jacket or something… I’m not sure where this stops, to be honest… Clear bags and backpacks; then, clear books and clothes, lunch bags… All that shit needs to follow.
And, then people will simply disguise the weapons, and get through security anyway. I seem to remember that there was a security warning out a few years back about someone who’d managed to make a cavity in a laptop, still leave it functional, and then conceal parts for a gun in it, with lead sheeting to make it look like a hard drive. Granted, you ain’t doing that with an iMac Air or a Chromebook, but you could make a case to the security guys that you’re just a techno-dinosaur… And, see? The thing boots up, still… Can’t be hiding anything in that, can I?
Security theater is all this is. Useless, against anyone with half a brain.
Cool…this is my new range bag!
Our lawmakers punnishing the law-abiding citizens again because they’re to stupid and lazy to fix the problems. Some kid will go to school with a ballistic panel in his/her clear backpack and security will be all over him/her like they’re a threat.
A certain CHILD media darling seems to think clear backpacks amount to a violation of the 1st Amendment…
Twitter wouldn’t normally be my first source for a quote but this one sings: “Huh. So common sense limitations on a right you highly value will be ineffective, have undesirable effects, and are therefore unacceptable? I wonder if that same argument has other applications.”
