    If any missing children show up at the school, we're covered.

    Two cameras, which are expected to be operational next week, will scan faces of people who enter the office at Royal Palm Middle School. They are linked to state and national databases of sex offenders, missing children and alleged abductors.

    If these "missing children" are "entering the office" - how missing are they really?

    Do you need a camera to tell you that the kid has been found?

    Let this be a clarion call to all those Phoenix middle school students out there: Print out a photo of Jeffrey Dahmer and tape it to your backpack. Fun for the whole class!

    No, not at all. You just have to become a pop star first.
