Rock, Paper, SCISSORS?
Is your workplace getting shot up by a crazed gunman?No problem -- just grab a pair of scissors and fight back! If you are fast enough you can block the bullets with them. That's some of the helpful advice in a new instructional video from the Department of Homeland Security that was posted on the agency's Web site just a month after the massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Connecticut. "If you are caught out in the open and cannot conceal yourself or take cover, you might consider trying to overpower the shooter with whatever means are available," says the narrator in the video, which shows an office worker pulling scissors out of a desk drawer. Of course, firearms for self-defense are right out. They are so dangerous, you might shoot your eye out. HIDE AND COWER: A Homeland Security video shows these scenes as helpful advice to workers on what to do if a mass killer strikes their office -- grab any weapon at hand, and hide under a desk. Desks are impervious to bullets. They also function as a Cloak of Invisibility. The video, titled "Options for Consideration," also advises that people who get caught in an "active shooter" situation should run away, hide under a desk or take cover out of the line of fire.
