    	We're talking about elementary schools with armed guards in the
    hallways and metal detectors at the front door, installed as a reaction to
    kids coming to school with knives and guns.

Gee.  Maybe we should start by networking the metal detectors, maybe
SNMP would be useful :-) :-)

Seriously though, at a recent IICS (International Interactive
Communications Society) meeting I heard a presentation from a woman
working for the Bergen County (NJ) school system who is doing some
interesting video networking work (with NJ Bell as I recall) to allow
for remote teaching and other things (over dedicated fiber links).
