Hindsight is 20/20… and fantastical!

Discussing the idea of a lockdown on Obsidian Wings. Here’s a comment that, I think, takes the cake for fantasyland hindsight criticism:

There’s actually one technical fix for this, which could be implemented fairly easily; The sound of a gun being fired is very distinctive, and can be identified and localized on an automated basis. And, outside of the gun range, that sound is pretty good evidence that something the police ought to be interested in is going down.

Why don’t more places invest in automated gunshot detecting systems? [ Comment on: Limited Though[t] on the Shooting ]
