This is the kind of crap that makes me nuts at work all day.. what a waste of tax dollars for some feel good nothingness. This will NOT make the schools safer... it will make them ugly. Put a sign up that says, "Armed staff on campus." and actually ALLOW staff to BE armed and that will remove the "soft target" aspect. IDIOTS! (The pen highlights are not mine...I copied it how it was posted.) arg.

    OR...let's say they DO sign in... (I can't get over the hype of signing a book... a book signing is some guarantee of safety? How the hell does that make anyone feel safer in the first place?)

    Yes, yes, yes and yes.. The liberal mind set...exactly. (All emotion, no logic... false sense of security over REAL security.)

    I think the phrase is 'security theater'. I and many others believe that 'competently armed staff' would be a significant deterrent to evil doers. Keeping in mind that, mass shootings are miniscule in the statistics of murder. However, if you google images for the phrase "israeli teachers armed with rifle" you will find a picture or two of a teacher armed with a rifle on a school field trip. Such a thing would require a mental change for the type of person who goes through the very liberal programs for Education degrees. It would also require people to face the truth that almost to an individual, every person who has committed a mass shooting has been deemed mentally ill. large numbers have been prescribed various prescription medications for their mental illness(es), and several have committed crimes in their acquisition of their tool of murder which goes to show that many gun control laws are useless when it comes to both enforcement and prevention.

    Ultimately, a sufficiently creative evil person will succeed in their act of destruction should we be unprepaired, but we should not live huddled in caves out of fear, but walk courageously in the day and night about our business. If they attack, we defend with a good offense. A suicidal attacker ultimately is just another person who chooses not to produce but destroy. Seeking greatness through their destruction, we should deny them their success with our own acts producing brave children. My brother in-law is a national guardsman and a police officer. He was a boy when he ran for his life from Dean Mellberg, the man who shot the pregnant woman fleeing next to him [see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fairchild_A.... This was a formative event in my brother in-law's life obviously and has driven him to have the courage to stand and fight. The shooting occurred on an US Airforce base with fences, etc.

    Hiding in a cave won't save us, fighting back will.
