I don't even disagree with you on principle. Angel did well (and she's in RedX, so she's even got additional preparation for situations like this), and the students can't stay at the school all their lives. I'm not the biggest fan of a lot of the security precautions since they create unrealistic and unsustainable standards of safety. And not ones that are socially healthy, either, I agree.
Speaking as a staffmember who's had to deal with the aftermath of a number of really painful student happenings, though -- disappearances and a couple of attacks, Kyle's standing out in recent events -- the simple truth that it's not possible to have both total security and anything like a normal life is frustrating. On the whole I agree; I'd also choose to give them something as close to normal as possible, with less security and paranoia being healthier than "safer." The kids need risk and suffering. It just doesn't make knowing you have to let what will come come any easier.

Oversensitivity is what they pay me for.
