Sandy Hook school staff and administrators did everything they could security-wise, from plans to systems to procedures to drills. But a determined attacker willing to die will sometimes get through. At that point security is about response and mitigation.
Credit needs to go to those teachers who responded quickly and correctly to the crisis, and kept their students out of harm's way. In addition, emergency response to these types of events has come a long way since Columbine.
The perpetrators of these crimes will always seek out the softer targets, so our security awareness will need to raised in more and more areas - places where we may be unaccustomed to it. Vigilance and knowing what to do in these situations is key.
