From sirens to pellet bangs: Schools testing drones to prevent potential attackers

Florida is the first state in the country to install drones on school campuses, and one high school is leading the way. About 40 drones are being installed at Deltona High School as part of a pilot program aimed at stopping — or taking down — a potential school shooter. The technology is provided by Campus Guardian Angel, an Austin, Texas-based company whose founders came up with the idea to stop mass school shootings.

The idea behind this high-flying, first-of-its-kind pilot program is to use the drones to locate a potential shooter on campus within 15 seconds. While waiting for first responders to arrive, professional drone pilots navigating the devices would engage and distract a potential shooter using what the company describes as non-lethal distractors — flashing lights, loud sirens and pellet bangs.

Taylor Worthington, with Campus Guardian Angel, said the drones positioned on the campus of Deltona High School were designed with specific vulnerabilities in mind. "On this campus, we have 40 drones distributed throughout a few buildings here."

Worthington said the pilot program was not intended to cover every corner of the school. "The goal of our initial pilot deployment, was to not protect the entire school, but to be able to pick a few strategic locations where the administration, the sheriff's office, and ourselves think are most vulnerable and able to be implemented during this pilot phase of our program."

On the 72-acre campus of about 1,800 students, that means 13 mounted boxes have been installed in high-volume locations — including the student auditorium, cafeteria, gym and several classrooms. Each box is equipped with three drones that can be launched within seconds. The devices are piloted remotely by professional drone pilots who are stationed more than 1,000 miles away in Austin.

3. So, they will be sitting in their docks until a shooter situation happens.

They will not be used for anything else, right?

Right??

...the devices would engage and distract a potential shooter using what the company describes as non-lethal distractors — flashing lights, loud sirens and pellet bangs.

Well, that doesn't sound dangerous at all, does it? And, those drones are in no danger of being commandeered by someone because that technology is foolproof, right?

Right??

(These animals are so full of shit that they really feel we will just go along with this. Oh, wait... )
