In the wake of mass murder at a Connecticut elementary school, there will be tremendous pressure to change gun laws in the United States. But change will come in many other forms. Many will conclude our schoolchildren are too vulnerable to attack while at school.
Parents and schoolboards are going to demand near-perfect safety for their children while in the care of teachers and administrators. This will be an impossible goal to attain, but do not be surprised when extraordinary steps are implemented to that end. Multiple layers of security. Armed police officers on campus from dawn to dusk. Installation of bulletproof windows and doors. Impenetrable classroom doors controlled by teachers. Panic buttons louder than a civil defense siren capable of being heard two miles away. The list of new security measures will be limited only by the imagination. Change is coming.
