Re: What would you do about Virginia Tech?
There is no way to stop someone who is determined to kill people and has no regard for his own life.
If we had an answer suicide bombers would have stopped along time ago.
Caring about one's own life is a major physological barrier. Our biology/evolution has conditioned us to be all about self preservation.
Death is the ultimate deterent from doing something.
Once someone has "snapped" and no longer fears death, or actually WANTS to die, nothing can be done to stop them.
The only thing you can do is train personal and have emergency procedures in place that will minimize the damage these loose cannons cause.
Security measures, say a metal detector, might ID someone with a gun or bomb, but all that does is limit them to killing the personal at the detector, rather than in the building or plane or base or something.
