I'd only advocate this as an interim measure. Personally, I'm not very comfortable with how our culture has increasingly sheltered kids out of fear for the worst. A school shouldn't feel like a prison. Any change to secure schools should be done as covertly and non-intrusively as possible, like civilian clothed officers and such. The fact that some schools have barred windows and metal detectors is a bit depressing.
Taking steps for precaution is one thing, overreacting and turning into "big brother" in the futile attempt to protect our children from every germ and bullet in the world is another.
