Perhaps it's time to put TSA in charge of school security [View all]

Federally funded of course. We don't want to put that burden on schools.

They could use the exact same techniques and equipment to secure our kids that they use nowadays to secure airplanes.

While the TSA get's alot of flack from the GOP types, they have been 100% successful in stopping hijackings.

The only downside is that kids might up to show up for school a few minutes early, but they would be 100% sure of going home alive.
