Angry that anyone can be so obtuse as to purposefully incite terror among those that they are employed to 'protect'.
How does scaring the shit out of your charges on a semi-regular basis help them in any way to be able to 'survive' something that will statistically never happen?
This is well-intentioned lunacy.
You have to give credit to the equally ignorant reporting:
The administrator ended the announcement with "Go Patriots," the school's code phrase to let students and staff know they were not speaking under force or duress.
Guess that passphrase is now burned, as is the idea that the school has a "secret phrase" for letting everyone know it is safe. I would wager a real shooter could scare that out of a couple of people pretty easily in a real situation.

1) The phrase “This is not a drill” should be taken to mean “This is a drill”
2) In case it is truly not a drill, the phrase “This is really not a drill, scouts honor.”, will be used.
3) The former non-duress phrase “Go patriots!” should be taken to mean “I have a gun to my head.”
4) Accordingly, the new non-duress phrase is “I have a gun to my head.”
Here is the good captain:
