#5"Along similar lines, Seminole County Public Schools (SCPS) communications officer, Katherine Crnkovich, emphasized in an email to Ars to “please make sure it is noted that this student wasn’t simply carrying a clarinet. This individual was holding it as if it were a weapon.”

#6This software is expensive and incompetent. Such blunders are expensive, think of the dispatched officers, the highly disturbed school and so on. Such false positives should be heavily penalized such that the companies providing the service are incentivized to fix their systems. The officials claiming the software worked as needed are probably benefitting from these contracts.

I mean these students now have the absolute funniest and most effective way to protest this bullshit. They could do more musical instruments, but I think bringing in comically fake depictions of outlandish weaponry would be legendary. A cereal box that just has the letters C4 written on it, an old timey cartoon bomb, a papier-mâché nuclear warhead.

So they want them to send them an alert when there's a doubt that the threat is real? Company needs a better comms officer.
