Security measures...

Ok. So normally, I wouldn't be thrilled about this notion, and I was a bitch about it myself when I was being stalked and all after coming out as a mutant but... Marie-Ange brought this up in her post. And right now, I'm starting to think the notion has merit.

I think the security experts here could probably elaborate on that thought further, but here's what I got, considering we've had more than a few incidents lately, involving fights and kidnappings and all that jazz.

Would it be possible to equip each student with a cell phone, or something else for the younger ones, giving them a means to call for help in case of trouble? And - letting them know about it mind - possibly a tracking device on the phone, as well?

Just a suggestion. Would anyone have any other ideas on the matter?

I'm sure that professionals would be able to disable that sort of stuff quickly but... it'd still help in the more mundane situations, no?

It's a good idea, Allison. We should make sure that the phones have a one-touch emergency dial, such as holding down 9 on current cell phones will dial 911.

I'm not thrilled with the concept of lots of long-distance phone bills coming into the school suddenly, but we will have to trust them not to abuse the phones, and then restrict those that do.
