Texas Mandates Panic Buttons In All Classrooms In Response To Mass Shootings

“Seconds really matter," said the mother of Alyssa Alhadeff, whose school shooting death in Parkland, Florida, inspired the measure.

This is a response. I guess it's something you can do. But it doesn't seem like it's going to help much - it will have so many false positives cause kids, but not really be accessible in an emergency.

That's great and all, but presupposes that whoever’s on the other end of that panic button will actually respond and do so effectively or in time. Uvalde and Parkland both had cops make it on site in a reasonable amount of time, but they were basically useless in both cases.
