I was thinking about this the other day at a high school football game - A thousand people and no one even thought about checking bags. (We won, 47-2.) Yesterday there was a shooting at a mall in NJ; We talk about armed guards in schools to protect children but never armed guards at entrances to malls?

I have no problems with added security at all. You want to check my ID, check my bags, check my car? No problem. Worst thing I carry these days is a Redbull.
