[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And someone can slip entirely past TSA security and fly without an ID or boarding pass, and the security adds delays to getting to a person's gate, but I don't see anyone arguing to eliminate airport security because it doesn't work.

Yes, weapon detectors at schools stinks. Yes, there can be ways around it. Yes, someone can stand outside any building and shoot their way in.

But until this country figures out how to stop school shootings, school systems are going to take steps to deter them as best they can. Believe it or not, they actually want to protect the children and teachers inside the school buildings.

This thread has provided no suggested alternatives; only complaints. Unless one has a better way to keep kids safe, complaining about things doesn't add anything to the conversation. Want to talk meaningful gun legislation or changing the massive gun culture of this country? That would be a good place to start.[/quote]

Umm, lots of people suggest removing TSA security theater. They miss weapons all the time.

Also, comparing a much more secure airport to a school is just wrong.

This isn't a problem here, and you're ignoring all the problems this creates.  Metal detectors don't stop anyone from shooting their way in, but they do create new high visibility targets.

This solves a non existent problem, and creates new ones while wasting funds the school says it doesn't have.
