A 1-Gallon Zip Lock with shoe laces for straps.

Clear backpacks? So someone wouldn’t be able to hide a gun or bomb by just rolling it up in a jacket?

“I’ve never seen a transparent backpack and did not even know they existed.”

It’s sort of like a giant rubber. I’m sure no one will figure out a work around.

Wow. I never would have guessed there would be a market for something like that.

Color me heartless, but I am sick of seeing and hearing from these kids. And they will be invading DC on Saturday. Thankfully it will still be cold, just not bitter cold like it is at the March for Life in January.

When colored backpacks are banned only criminals will have colored backpacks.

What else could we expect from a bunch of New York democrat transplants?

Yeah, no way around the need for metal detectors.

It (as it played out) easily could have been prevented. Not one "answer" since will prevent the next one.

So how big was the bag holding all of the gear that Cruz had? This held a rifle and body armor among other items. I surmising that he geared up on campus and walked right on in.

Clear backpacks have been a mandatory requirement on many campuses for years.”

I guess we’re backward here. Never heard of it.

It’s sad there IS a market, a demand for that. That we can’t even trust our kids to use a normal backpack.

See post 23. They’re common as dirt.

I’m glad you never heard of them. You probably live in one of the few sane and normal places left in the country.

How about putting a cloaking cover that gives the appearance of a clear backpack over the real backpack.

Why not make them all wear clear clothing.

Then women teachers could have an easier time finding the boys they want to bang.

Yeah, I do as a matter of fact. Think if I was a kid in one of these leftist-run high schools I would drop out and do a GED or some alternate path to graduation.

Don’t say colored backpacks. They are black or African American backpacks.

For Christ’s sake.

I work in a PRISON. We are required to bring our lunch or any other authorized daily supplies (Water, prescriptions, etc.) in a department issued clear bag.

They are treating these kids like they are entering a correctional facility.

This is preposterous.

While they are at it why not remote controlled explosive neck collars like in the movie Running Man?

They are trying to turn schools into prisons.
