a federal law requiring all schools to have metal detectors installed in their schools? I mean this school didn’t have any real security in their school just some stupid deputy. And the school’s reason for not having metal detectors is cos it would make the school seem like a prison. HELLO! After the tragic shooting of Columbine in April 1999 our schools became less safe to walk into. It seems any nut can come into our schools now with an AK-47 or any other gun, or bombs and just start killing people. Face it the USA is not as safe as it was like 30 years ago. Who cares if the schools look like prisons. If that is what it takes to keep our children safe in schools then I think the USA federal government needs to impose tougher measures and enact a federal law in order to make our children safe in school.
