Over 30,000 people are killed worldwide each year by Islamic terrorists, the most by far of any kind of terrorist “cause.” Active shooter training should prepare employees for anywhere they might travel to, not just inside the NYC bubble.

Instead of criticizing DHS, you should thank them for trying to inform you so you can save your own life or others if a terrorist does show up one day.

My active shooter class consisted of dynamic entry closed-quarters battle training. Running and hiding works great until they find you. Stashing a K-bar knife somewhere might get you fired, but they work wonders when shooters have to eventually reload.

BestCrypt beats both. Bitlocker’s key escrow is a gaping hole for any sophisticated attacks, plus their privacy policies stink in case there’s ever a dispute over who should get access to your keys.
