But the cost to defend our kids is too high ...

"I calculate $10.7 billion based on government statistics which estimate the total number of K-12 public schools at around 99,000 and post-secondary education facilities at around 8,000. That gives 107,000 total. Multiply 107,000 by 100,000 (two security guards each making $50,000 a year) and you get $10.7 billion. I believe $50,000 is a good total estimate for the average security guard salary when taking into account state-level variations in average wage."

I might cost double if the author didn't factor in workman's comp, days off, medical and other benefits, but it would be a steal at $40 billion. What is the budget for the department of "homeland security"?
