14. You mean the kids who have active cell phones

when somebody with a gun is wandering the halls and listening for signs of life--beeps, rings, chimes, talking?

"But what if my parents' are worried?"

"But what if it's determined that the reason the shooter came in and killed some of your classmates was because your phone rang when you mom called back to ask what the emergency was--was it really an intruder!"

I want to see this enforced.
