I remember hearing talk of clear backpacks many years ago when I was still in school. It's not a new concept, it's sort of an alternative to installing metal detectors and patting down students as they enter, like they have to do at the nigger-zoos.

But those CHILDREN that will have to deal with it don't really have privacy rights. They are under the legal guardianship of the school district during school hours- technically, school district is mommy and daddy while you're there. And if daddy wants to know what's inside your schoolbag, you fucking show him, because you're a CHILD.

Because of that, I don't have any problem with schools enforcing this. My problem is that it's a shitty, short-sighted attempt at addressing a problem that doesn't really exist: How many of these shooters actually smuggle their weapons inside secretively? I guess there's the occasional student bringing a knife in their bag and stabbing someone, but you're not gonna be able to stuff an AR-15 discreetly into a fucking schoolbag.

So that brings a larger question: Could this be another way to condition these children to be used to having zero privacy as adults? Prepping a generation for a time when ALL of your life's details will be monitored and used by a tyrant?

These are the same kids who post their entire lives to facebook, instagram, twitter, etc. They don't give a fuck about privacy. They do care about fashion though. Having a 'cool' bag. That's what matters.

The vast majority of school shootings, like all shootings, are done with handguns. Once or twice a month my local news reports about a gun-related incident on school grounds, a kid caught with one or one being found in a car or something, and over the years it's never once been an AR-15 in my local news. I bet knife-related incidents are even more common but less newsworthy. This seems like an effective, cheap, and immediate way to mitigate against people concealing weapons in a classroom.
