What about metal detectors set-up at the shopping malls, supermarkets, movie theaters, coffee shops, and a variety of other retailers surrounding your house. Sure it would be a hassle, but at least YOUR safety would be increased. See where that kind of intrusion could get under your skin?
I'm not calling you a bootlicker, but there are plenty of FReepers who are inclined to do virtually anything the government demands of them in the so-called pursuit of safety. We just don't live in a perfect world.

I live in DC. I already deal with it at various buildings and even on the streets during certain holidays/events. No, it doesn't bother me.
"I'm not calling you a bootlicker..."
That's reassuring.
I'm not sure if you intended to respond to me or someone else. My only issue with the kid is that he is a child and the school administrators are the adults to whom his parents entrust him while he is at school. He should know his role.
