We wanted to find out what you think about our undercover efforts to investigate school security. WHAS11 hired an outside unbiased company specializing in surveys to ask 500 adults in the Louisville area one question. Those who were asked did not know that WHAS11 ordered the survey.

They asked: Do you think the media should or should not be allowed to test the security of area schools without the school districts prior knowledge?

Sixty-three percent said yes, thirty-three said no and five percent said they didn't know.
