Danger: Oxycontin Robberies Scary

RE: Update: Medicine Man robbers get away
Danger: These oxycontin pharmacy robberies are becoming more frequent and it's just a matter of time before something terrible happens. Maybe the drug stores need to install bullet proof glass in front of their counters to keep employees safe. If I worked in a pharmacy in the Coeur d'Alene area I'd be very very concerned.

Question: I agree w/Danger. It's only a matter of time before someone gets hurt or killed in one of these area robberies. What steps should be taken to protect pharmacies from armed Oxycontin-addled robbers?
