If we can provide this sort of protection to our elected officials, why not to our kids at public schools? Just having officers with guns at the door may do a lot to deter those who are looking for a 'soft' target. Nothing says "Attack here, helpless people inside!" like the Gun-Free Zone signs outside of our schools.

Think about the airport and how people feel their right to privacy is being trampled on by the TSA. How many of those people would want their children going through a metal detector everyday while possibly being subjected to a pat-down by a rent-a-cop? I think you have a good idea, but it would probably get a tremendous amount of push back.
