BTW the gun was about 3 inches and completely red in color.
Th school is focusing on the wrong dangers. I am unaware of any water pistols being used by terrorists. However they have attempted to use shoe bombs. So for school safety shouldn't we ban shoes? Oh and coats, pants, shirts, lingerie and boxers can all be used to conceal weapons. Safety first, ditch the clothes. And let's not forget the most recent foiled plot. Perhaps we should ban bringing toothpaste, hair gel, and other liquids to school. Come to think of it why the heck to students need scissors in class? Kind of sharp and pointy aren't they? Too dangerous for sure. Textbooks are heavy and pack quite a wallop. Do you want to be faced with angry students ready to bash you with their math books? I think not.
I think for school safety it is probably best that schools rethink their security policies. " Learn Naked" has the making of a good slogan that students can support.
