F/N: Target hardening 1, the built environment. Initial ideas:
1: Control access, and monitor it — preferably vid feed that can be patched through to SWAT support.
2: The gate should be barred, and there should be security control, with sufficient fencing or walls.
3: Parking lots should be monitored with access for security points in sufficient cross-fire to provide enfilade.
4: Building access and corridors as well as entrances to bathrooms, stairs, elevators etc should be monitored and there should be ways to block and/or defend access.
5: Large halls should be access controlled with defensive points. There should be several emergency exits so rapid evacuation can be done.
6: Multiple, overlapping monitoring, linked to police or contract security.
7: Halls should have at least three defensive points in mutual support so that cross fire and enfilade can be implemented.
8: Marshals should be able to rapidly and securely access such points, with prepositioned weapons. Such marshalls should have high capacity 9 mm weapons, or even PDW upgrades on or next to them at all times on duty. And of course, beepers that can alert them to patch into the defense network. Personal alarm buttons too that will call in the network.
9: I suggest the prepositioned points should have 6.5 or 6.8 mm semiauto weapons with low mag scopes and also IR scopes in some cases. Such exist, on AR15 type frames. (Back in the 60s the 6.5 or 6.8 mm should have been settled on not 5.56, for many reasons. The long range shootings problem in Afghanistan is just one sign. I also suggest consideration of bullpup configuration weapons. A version on the Tavor TAR 21 looks like a useful place to go to.)
10: AP rounds should be available. And of course body armour.
11: The intent is to contain, channel and block the razzia, buying time until reinforcements come in.
12: Metal reinforced zip ties should be available in quantity.
13: So should trauma kits, and it would help to have trained medics to military standard.
14: Secure wireless comms with a command centre and an alternate.
15: Big enough facilities should have roof helipads, as access points for SWAT support.
16: Ditto for secure tunnels, which can also serve as exits for VIPs liable to be taken hostage.
17: Hospital hotlines, and of course aid posts with stretchers. I assume medevac helicopters will be within Golden Hour reach, with designated mass casualty trauma centres.
18: Zones at major risk should have air defence zones, tied to national networks. The NY Financial District and Washington DC are obvious cases in point.
Doubtless, more.
I am just putting on the table a sketch to show the level of training, organisation and co-ordination that are indicated.
At higher levels, steps should be taken to monitor for emergence of cells and Jihad settlement enclaves.
Any sign of a police no go area should be taken as grounds for military occupation and resolution of issues leading to long term enhanced police presence. And while that is in the mix, the same can doubtless be extended in some reasonable measure to general crime hot spots.
Given the religiously motivated ideology problem, Mosques should be routinely, random sample monitored, and clerics also; there is abundant evidence of prior concern — such is not a matter of blind fishing expeditions. Signs of radicalism call for focussed monitoring and prompt intervention.
And so forth.

Comedy gold: later in the same thread, he's banging on about the out-of-control state. Which he thinks is bad.
