I had the opportunity to speak with a local sheriff on this topic last week and he was very candid. When he told me that law enforcement was very concerned about a terrorist attack on American schools, I was actually relieved and I told him so. I told him, had he tried to placate me by telling me that there was nothing to be worried about, I'd have been *really* worried! It makes me feel better to know that they're "on it".

I asked him how we could go about getting the same "Fight Back" program that they had come into Dallas and he said that *that* had to come from the community. If the police department tries to get something like that implemented, people will panic and think that they know something and aren't sharing. (Which, he assured me, isn't the case.) But if *we* do it they'll support such a program in any way they can. (I'm in Texas.)
