the only things this shit is going to do is waste money and prevent law enforcement from entering schools in a timely manner. They would just start sitting back and letting the drones "secure the area" before they move in. It would do a lot to help cops be bigger pussies than they already are though.
But law enforcement doesn't enter schools with active shooters. It turns out, law enforcement doesn't have any obligation to protect the public at all (legally).
It does open the door for excuse making, and i wouldn't be surprised to find out the maker of the drones has a lobbyist "suggesting" their brand to this school and then pocketing the half million.
