Government School Eye Scans

Well, yet again government has provided an incredibly expensive solution to a problem. The fact that there was no problem to begin with, of course, will not deter those in government from spending the money to solve the problem. In this case, we've got almost $400,000 of federal tax money gone.

So, what solution did they create? They added eye scan technology to schools in NJ -- so all parents and teachers get their eyes scanned before they're allowed to enter the schools, and all visitors and activities of all scanned people can be tracked.

This will certainly solve that pesky problem with the school shootings done by students -- oh wait, no it won't. It must solve that problem of terrorist attacks on schools -- well, actually, it won't do much to stop a bomb or a bomber.

I guess it will solve that problem of so many non-students trespassing on school property when they weren't supposed to. Oh, that's not a problem? As I first said -- leave it to government to find massively expensive ways to either just create problems, or to attempt to solve problems that don't exist.

Is there any possible reason left to allow government to run anything remotely associated with education? No, there is not.

1 I guess I'm with you in not understanding why this was needed. Other then it was a fine waste of money.

2 Government is simply incapable of NOT spending money.

3 Saw that in the news earlier. It is idiotic, it will do nothing but be a nuisance for people who go to and from the school; a terrible waste of money.
