This is a topic that I have been thinking about on and off for a long time, and increasingly often in the past few days. It eerily coincides with the Virginia Tech massacre.
The way I see it, I go to a big school. I have classes in large classroom buildings where hundreds of other students are taking class at the same time. Who knows what people can bring into the building in their backpacks? Guns? Bombs? Suicide bombers? (I know it's not right, but I am always creeped out when I see a muslim student in traditional dress, whether a guy with a hedge for a beard, or a covered up chick.) Other buildings on campus contain not only classrooms, but offices for professors who are some of the brightest minds of this country and research facilities: perfect targets for those who want to drag us all back to the seventh century.
I realize it is not feasible to search every student and every backpack, but the current level of security at my school is sub-par in my opinion. What do you guys think?
