[QUOTE="RB II, post: 2786709, member: 124418"] Never said just one door, I stated that every door in the school can/should be fitted with these systems. I built many many schools and met with administrators in the programming/planning of most of the to discuss their "school specific" needs so I completely understand how a school is supposed to function, per the administrators. One problem that causes migration away from truly being safe is that teachers and staff (and kids never did understand it) lose focus of the potential "reasons why" certain limitations/access is put into place and opt for the easiest way to accomplish completing their day. Example, janitor props a side door open so they can slip out and smoke regularly and remain unseen. Bad guy learns that, heck the majority of the teachers and students know it. The door sensor will recognize that and alert the panel. No more soft spot in the security. As someone else stated, human nature is to take the easy way out, rigid locks, sensors and software does not. It keeps doing the same thing every day all day/night long. It is tested regularly, just like the fire alarm system. One more thought, allowing old ideas to dictate the solutions to these new problems is not smart. Limiting school kids ability to just walk out any door (or any other activity that affords unwanted access from the exterior) is smart whether they like it or not. [/QUOTE]
