I think it would be a pretty good idea personally. Your thoughts?
There were Air Marshalls on 11 Sep 2001.

Based upon my experiences, the on-going visibility of school security, from limiting and controlling routine access to the presence of armed security personnel on campus and during extra-curricular events, is an important factor in managing the angst of students, faculty, and families, as well as for thwarting the plans of many potential intruders.
