You assume basic skills that many of us lack. Gien plastic sheeting and duct tape I seriously doubt I could do much excpt stick the stuff to my skin and painfully rip it off. I would not be a good pinoeer.
I agree that we worry to much about that sort of thing, all in all sudden violen terriost act is not that different fo a way to die then sudden violent car wreck.
You bring up an important point (though I bet you could cut out a stylish poncho if you wanted one). We should lobby Tom Ridge to fund supplies and curriculum to teach schoolchildren essential plastic sheeting and duct tape skills. On the one hand, it's got to be more useful than 1950's era duck and cover practice. On the other hand, I can imagine suffocated plastic mummy horror stories starring ten-year-old sociopaths, so maybe not.
Even if you catch them at 10, can you fix them? I've been dismayed at the recent bunch of school shooting stories. I'm not sure if the solution is parenting licenses or mandatory psych tests. Something involving an empty room, a hamster*, and a knife perhaps.
*Gratuitous, I know, but I think we already covered the math and perversity angles.
I think the only known cure is death, thus they should be cured as soon as possible to allow them another chance at life, possibly without the problem this time or prehaps in an area where a cure is a least possible.
The early testing seems reasonable- you could mandate classroom pets in elementry school as a stand in...
(If hamsters are regularly decapated in neurosciance experimanrts exposing them to potental sociopaths as an early dignostic technique seems like a more provable net benift to humanity)
