Agreed, he's new with fresh ideas but I think everyone's too concerned with helping themselves to go along with them.

I feel sorry for the children, there childhood is now sort of ruined.

Escorted to school/anywhere in Rocket proof car, guarded by secret service at every second, they even have to check the area before they go in, so they need to check the toilets, guards at the windows of the toilets. Their lifes will be a bit invaded.

just because they're childhood would become somewhat more protective doesn't mean it'll be ruined :S

They will have to have guards with them 24/7.
Would you like to HAVE to be escorted to the toilet, wait for the guards to clear the area, walk in with you and just wait outside and guards at the toilet windows?

Going to the park or hanging with friends will be doubtful.
