Found out we're doing a mandatory active-shooter training at work. It'll be "non interactive" which I guess means no fake guns or practice takedowns or whatever they do to scare people. At least one of my coworkers has already expressed adamant opposition to this, so I have at least one ally. I'd be more opposed if I were going to have fake guns pointed at me, but if it's just sitting in a room listening to someone talk, I don't mind being paid to listen to their bullshit. Anyway, beyond what I've said, I don't know much about these trainings, so what are some funny ways I could derail it? Don't hold back

Insist you are doing this to make sure an actual drill will work, since actual drills don't go perfect (Honestly this is what you're supposed to do when you're running a drill, you're supposed to test the strains of the system, see where it fails, so you can improve upon it for the future.)
