> If there was a single instance of a shooting at your workplace, you bet your ass there would be material security improvements next week. I dunno; threats and occurrences of actual violence are shrugged off pretty frequently by hospitals. And my old high school? Sure, you have to have an ID card to get in, but the doors are still fully glass. You don't need a gun to get in; a brick would do the job. And it's private. The public schools are even worse. Wife worked for a couple of years in a downtown admin job at the local public school system; one of their few duties in schools was to proctor standardized tests several times a year. I took her to one in a very rough area that had metal detectors even 20+ years ago. It went off when we walked through, but no cops or security officers were present, and one of the students just told us to ignore it, because they all did. This - in a school that had bullet holes in the windows and ceilings (which, to be fair, were probably just potshots from the apartments across a ditch from the school that were fired when nobody was actually in the building).
