Fox Experts: This can't be prevented

Here's Fox News with a piece about campus security.

The unprecedented school massacre at Virginia Tech has underscored one terrifying fact: Such attacks can never be completely prevented, and college campuses are especially vulnerable.


The experts argue that while campus security isn't entirely achievable (I agree in that there's nothing stopping a person who's genuinely bonkers) it's still possible for campuses to take stricter preventative measures such as:

  • Marksmanship training of campus police officers
  • bagchecks at campus events
  • more campus police officers
  • ID scanners in classrooms and dorms
  • metal detectors in classrooms and dorms
  • security cameras
Could this be the first call for what results in you having to empty your pockets before going to a school football game? Well, anyone who would take the Fox Experts argument has a little more ammo because of the woeful campus response to the shootings.
