[ RadSafe ] Kansas to let nuclear plant guards "shoot to kill"

[John Jacobus]

Usually the security forces are trained and are to
follow "rules of engagement" just as the police do.
For example,

1.  Aim weapon and shout warning.

2.  No response, repeat warning.

3.  If weaponed aimed at you, shout to kill.
