Unfortunately, a school shooting on an Indian reservation is a mark of how WELL integrated Indians are into modern American society.

Re. the school being a prison, having metal detectors - whats abnormal there? In Houston, the school district has its own police force and yes they have metal detectors.

1. Purpose.  The purpose of this memorandum is to describe random use by the Houston Independent School District Police of metal detectors in schools. 
......
4. General Information.  The Houston Independent School District (HISD) Board of Education has authorized the use of metal detectors to search students and any personal property in their possession to promote safety by discouraging students from bringing weapons to school, thereby reducing the opportunity for violence in HISD schools.  The use of metal detectors is authorized by References (c) and (d).  The district's general practice for searching property and students is described in Reference (f). 

A search may be conducted with either a hand-held scanner or a mobile metal detector.  A mobile metal detector is one that can be moved or transported from place to place and is not permanently affixed to the building.

The lesson here isn't that "those Indians" have a problem. America has a problem.
