Sounds like a jail.As well as introducing the backpacks, there will also be airport-style metal detectors and school visitors will be funnelled through special gates.

Seriously, this feels like GTA come true. It would be funny if it wasn't so sad.
Life jackets on planes serve a purpose. Clear backpacks don't.
I'm mocking the entire thing.
While we're at it, we should arm guns.Yeah but what if the students start carrying guns inside of hollowed out books?
I think we're gonna also need clear books
Just curious. Let's say "school shooter" opens his bag and starts assembling this weapon, how long would he take to get it together and start shooting? Say, if he practices at home and not being having military or police training.
Any experts?
Just so people know, the clear backpacks (and IDs and more deputies on loan from the highway patrol) was not in response to the original shooting. This past week, one student pulled a knife on another in the cafeteria, another was brandishing a knife on the bus and still had it with him the next day when his backpack was searched, a third was making general threats against the school on Snapchat, one of the deputies assigned to guard the school was caught sleeping in his car, and the brother of Cruz walked right onto campus unimpeded after school hours but while sports were going on. (This is while his adoptive mother appeared with Gloria Allred in New York). And it turns out that the Cruz brother had been on campus THREE times in the past month without being stopped. The community is suffering and scared, and the original measures taken to better protect the school were a dismal failure so now the district has implemented a number of new policies. This was NOT done at the whim of the principal.
So turn the school into a prison because politicians would rather let people die than introduce any amount of meaningful gun control, gotcha.As well as introducing the backpacks, there will also be airport-style metal detectors and school visitors will be funnelled through special gates.
They usually prohibit that.

It's effective enough for countless districts all over the country and for major sporting events.This is dumb. Response to guns or knives, it's not going to be effective. It's just like the TSA dog and pony show.
this seems so crazy to me. like they'll try EVERYTHING except for the best solution.

I mean yeah, but that wouldn't pass a metal detector though. It's not a single layered defense.
The shit with metal detectors and all that, does it really work? Why would someone who plans on killing people care about setting off a metal detector?
it's security theater that will do little or nothing to actually make the place safer while turning school into prison-lite for a bunch of kids who were just badly traumatizedDon't get angry. Why is everyone laughing at the school trying to minimise risk?
The principal and faculty are not politicians, they have no power to change gun laws. This change no matter how small is better than nothing and it's probably all they can do.
Instead of mocking the school maybe we should realise this is the limit of their power and therefore we need to apply more pressure onto the government.
Yeah, this is what I was thinking. Clear backpacks isn't the end of the world. But if you do that, you'll need clear cases for everything, which also doesn't sound totally unreasonable...Clear backpacks, alright, but what about the high school band?
Do they have to get clear instrument cases?
I mean, some gun cases and some saxophone cases look similar...
That's what I was thinking. You could even cut out the insides of a book and hide a handgun inside. Backpacks aren't the problem. It's not like Cruz stashed all his guns in his backpack.*wraps gun in hoodie then puts hoodie in bag*
Yeah. Fool proof solution here guys.
- Have a voluntary government buyback program. You can head to your local police station and drop off your gun(s) in exchange for a tax credit.
