JUST IN CASE THE “TERRORISM FREE ZONE” SIGNS SOMEHOW FAIL TO DO THEIR JOBS: French teachers given ‘alarm bracelets’ over terror fears:

Teachers in southern France’s Aix-en-Provence have been given emergency alarm bracelets through which they can alert police in a bid to improve security.

Could this be the future at all French schools?

For the past week, teachers at 74 kindergartens and primary schools in Aix-en-Provence have been armed with the latest security development—an emergency bracelet.

The bracelet, which can be worn around the neck or wrist, features a large orange button that, when pressed, will raise the alarm at local police stations and throughout the school.

You know, I can think of another thing teachers could be given that would improve security. I wonder when the idea will occur to the French as well?
