.... -- external factors beyond the teacher's ability to use a weapon. So, a bio-metric trigger safety is a solution that would preclude a student unexpectedly snatching a teacher's weapon and causing immediate havoc.

There are no weapons taken into jails and prisons, because those responsible for the safety of EVERYONE inside the jail or prison recognize that the ONLY WAY TO KEEP IT SAFE is to NOT HAVE ANY FIREARMS INSIDE. It's rather simple. Unless of course, someone is trying to advance an agenda. That is also why the legislatures and Congress create "Gun Free Zones" with exceptions to LE, both local, state, and Federal and a select few individuals like Judges.
LE officers are instructed and trained on weapon retention, and they aren't even allowed to carry them into Jails and Prisons.
TCOLE (Texas):
Course No. 2047
Officer Survival/Weapon Retention
But you want to allow an untrained teacher to carry one into a school with children inside????
You have now injected a new "block" of instruction in the Education Curriculum for want-a-be teachers. It's called:
Teacher Survival/Weapon Retention
The mere fact of your suggestions of a "trigger guard" PROVES they shouldn't be in the schools with teachers.
