Security checks for those driving children to and from school and club events

So why are the Daily Mail (and other news outlets) getting so agitated about the new security checks for people who drive other peoples' children to school or club events...?

Do they not value our childrens' safety and security? Do they not want to ensure all steps are taken to protect them from harm and abuse?

Imagine the outrage the Daily Mail, in particular, would express if a child sometime in the near future were to be assaulted by one such parent who hadn't taken a check. They would surely me some moral grand-standing then.

It's not as if there's any moral dilemma on the issue. We need to protect our children as best we can. Enough said.
