Terrorist Drills in US Schools

I can't find a report yet, but it's been on the radio all day. Apparently some American schools are going to have terrorist drills, similar to fire drills, but to tell kids what to do if the school is raided presumably. Guess they need something else to keep the kids in line, now that they've got used to the metal detectors and armed guards (does that actually happen?) Just out of interest, how many children have been killed in America as a result of terrorist attacks on schools in the last 50 years?

i guess for the schools in america, if it seems like they're trying their best to protect their children they are less likely to be sued in the unlikely event anything like that happens.
Just out of interest, how many terrorist attacks in any shape or form have there been on american soil since 9/11? (That's 5 years ago now btw, in case you forgot how to count)......That's right, a big fat 0........I guess those pesky al-qaeda are just biding their time :chin: ........in the meantime the american government is doing an equally good job of scaring the crap out of their citizens, terrorist drills in school sounds like just another method of conditioning at an early age to me......
especially because the opinion polls in america are placing bush very low (58% see bush as unfavourable and only 37% favourable, the spare pecentage were unsure, American indecision!
i watch cnn every now and then and some of the state news channels (internet) and there all about how manyu people were shot today and the rise on gun crime and if you match the gun crime to its airtime its way out fo proportion
I often see black and deckers flying around at 30,000 feet when I am onboard planes.
And I doubt they'd let one fly if a man ran out onto the apron and started drilling it.
And as for getting one through customs, well, that is nigh on impossible. I couldn't even get my nail clippers through. That right pissed my off, I tell you. They were a good pair.
I think Terrorist Drills should become more used. Might as well prepare. Especially schools that are near high risk targets. My school is in between Sikorsky, a company that makes Helecoptors for the armed forces and one of the top producers for nuclear submarines.
As for the metal detectors, armed guards and what not, that does happen in some schools. Armed guards are security guards, rarely carrying a gun, so they aren't exactly armed.
Fuck off. Black and Decker mate. The ONLY drills. They are Kray approved.
Plus, Black and Decker do actually make the best drills.
Nothing wrong with having drills in place for fire, earthquake or even for an unspecified incident such as a gunman breaking into the school and threatening to shoot pupils.
If however someone has introduced a drill that tackles the specific "threat" of terrorists targetting schools, someone is certainly having a fucking laugh.
As we all know fellow pupils or local disgruntled workers present an infinitely graver danger to schoolchildren in the US and evil A-rab (or any other race) terrorists could possibly pose.
It pretty much happens in London mate, most sixth form colleges in London have security with stab proof vests on and there are a lot more stabbings than you would think.
i can only guess he forgot the gun!
It is extremely difficult to bring down a plane without the aid of a reasonably potent bomb. Even if one had a gun and emptied the magazine into the wall the plane would be very unlikely to go down. Explosive decompression and perhaps a couple of people being sucked out, at the most.
WE'RE NOT SCAREMONGERING, THIS IS REALLY HAPPENING
those poor stupid stupid american children...
I think American kids need to be more worried about friendly fire from a rescue attempt myself.
my fellow merikan children... look an a-rab! run!
Fear leads to anger... etc
Precisley.
Plus, more worrying, some guy from the US got on and flew to the UK, then realised... oops, he'd forgot to leave his handgun at home. Do'h! Us customs REALLY stepped up after 9/11!
Meh. If I die, I die. So what... if it happens in a plane crash or a car accident or a heart attack? Not alot I can do tbh!
:wave:
You'd have been disappointed if it had, surely?
Besides, I'll bet that there aren't that many new names on this part of the boards anyway.
Shame you missed klintock though.
:yes: Indeed, you should look up his posts. It is qaulity entertainment.
And we aren't just Anti-American. I like alot of Americans... it is just that - their Government are idiots, they seem to be quite inept at doing a wide variety of things (Customs, "Liberating" countries, NOT shooting civilians)... and there are SO MANY steryotypical yankee-doodles around.
And please guys, vote Democrat this time.
I dread to think who they'll replace bush with... not Cheny... anyone but Cheny.
sorry, bit drunk at the moment.
Having said that I still prefer europe as a place to live, though people are generally way more friendly over in the US (maybe its only to tourists
I'll pack the few things I have, take my cash and fly anywhere but here if that happens. Hell I'll go to canada if I have to
My dad promised we'd leave country if Bush got elected twice
