Default Anti-terrorist school bus drivers

What next? Shall we train taxi drivers too?

At least ex-Dallas SWAT team members can have a job when they retire.

As long as we don't arm the bus drivers too we might be OK

But if we don't arm them, how can they fight terror?

so if the bus drivers are receiving formal training on anti terroist behaviour, do you tink they are getting a big pay rise to take into account the new responsibilities - i didnt think so

Talking Re: Anti-terrorist school bus drivers

When I first heard of this story, thoughts of "Dad's Army" came to mind.

Most school bus drivers are in their 70s.

Coach & Truck Drivers have also been asked to play "Spot The Terrorist" too.

Jim.
