Students at the school in Florida where 17 people were killed in a shooting in February have returned to class with transparent bags. The new measures were announced soon after the attack at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High. The shooting led to pupils launching an extensive social media campaign, culminating in a national march for tighter gun laws last month.

But, students have argued that the new bags will not prevent future attacks. The new rules about the clear rucksacks, which were provided to students for free, came into effect on Monday as classes resumed after the spring break.
