Drones that can shatter glass, blast sirens, and spray pepper gel are headed into school hallways in at least three states. Nine schools in Florida, Georgia, and Colorado will this year debut the nonlethal "Campus Guardian Angel" systems made by Austin-based Mithril Defense, the Washington Post reports.

Teachers can trigger the drones via an app or panic button; company pilots then steer them toward a suspected attacker, aiming to reach a threat in about 15 seconds.

I have doubts about the quick accessibility of the panic button and drone control.
Teachers drone piloting skill is an unknown quantity.

"Drones that can shatter glass, blast sirens, and spray pepper gel''



O yeah wont take long for the nonconformism crew out there to get their hands on things like that. I can see plenty of bad possible!"
I do not give a **** or not that they are restricted the problem people will figure out a way to get them or build them AND USE THEM!
 
Something else for our school board to waste money on (taxes):rolleyes:

I still say preventing weapons from getting into the building is a better idea

If someone can get a gun (either semi handgun or rifle )into the school how many shots can be fired in 15 seconds?? I doubt that as a reasonable reaction time to release the drones and stop the shooter

gotta ask yourself....how the hell is the drone gonna know where the shooter (s) are?
 
What to worry about? Computer and AI technology being what it is I am sure th=-0jpnpkoig is 'lknoih;ob132debgu;2nwdq nofjb342;ebbdcw3diudb;ef causepoj

I like the idea. Bears careful evalution.

Beats the relying on locked doors and 911 approach. I am in favor of armed and well trained security in schools but it seems a lot of schools either do not want or can’t get that.

Have the drones docked in the ceilings of the hallways. Teacher hits a panic button and drone HQ lights up with cameras of the teacher’s specific location and school. Trained operators fly the drone(s) to the assailant.

Sure a lot could go wrong. But a lot is already going wrong. Which is more likely to save kids lives, drones or no drones?

Worth a look, in my opinion.

it's been my experience over the past 55+ years that schools, i.e. administrators and most teachers then and now don't want police anywhere on the property..... hmmm, why could that be 🤔
 
Hope trained drone operators have a lot of down time. Still have school resource officers walking the halls? Never heard a student talk back to a teacher and carried shotgun in truck rack or backseat for hunting after school. Every boy had a barlow in pocket. Long ago in a forgotten time. Sad...
