Me, I feel safer already

Today's Collegian trumpets K-State's new security procedures at dorms in wake of the Virginia Tech shootings: requiring students to show ID and guests to check in. ...Wait, what?

Or, as first commenter Becky Christner nailed it: "Oh good, so we'll be safe unless someone with a student ID decides to bring a gun to class!"

I'm not sure which is worse: an ineffectual policy being touted as safety, or complicity in promoting such.

Edit: It's "Furnas" (second graf), not "Furnace" (third graf). Mrgh.

Okay, these count as warning signs right here

Every once in a while, when I fear for my sanity, someone reassures me that I could be much, much worse:

A part-time Boston University student who hosts a popular video game review show on an MTV Web site allegedly sent an e-mail threatening to kill an ex-girlfriend and recreate the Virginia Tech bloodshed at her school, according to a Boston police report obtained by the Herald.

"(I)'m gonna (expletive) bring a gun to your school and kill you and K (another female student) and everybody you love. It's gonna be VT all over again," 20-year-old Andrew Rosenblum allegedly wrote in an e-mail to the victim just hours after 32 people were gunned at Virginia Tech.

"Seriously I'm just that demented," Rosenblum wrote, according to a BPD report. He ended the message with a threat to commit homicide and suicide: "killing people can change people's lives forever. (T)he best is in the end when I pull the trigger on myself, too."

Okay, this time we can blame MTV.

Extra points to the Herald for dropping a mention of the guy's height (5'5") into the story for absolutely no reason.
