Reverberant writes "School administrators in Framingham MA have implemented a policy allowing them to not only confiscate cell phones, but also to search through students' cell phone data as part of their anti drug/violence efforts. Students claim that the policy is an invasion of their privacy."

    Of course they are right to search these phones. You never know where the terrorists are hiding. These evil students could make one sms message and bam! A building falls down for no good reason. ;)

    Jane - Why don't I just go to Ms. Li and expose this whole cell phone spying thing?

    Ms. Morris - She already knows.

    Jane - Okay then back off or I'll tell the PTA.

    Ms. Morris - They know too.

    Jane - Congress?

    Ms. Morris - You're beaten Lane.

    Jane - How about if I call the three local TV stations and tell each one that the other two are running the story?

    Ms. Morris - Damn.

    Put a lock code on your phone, and also put a memo on it; if the school confiscates it and reads the memo, they have bypassed a security mesure to illegaly obtain access to your copywrited work.

    sue them

    In these trying times, I must ask you: why do you hate America? Don't you see? Attitudes like that mean that the terrorists have already won! Why won't you think of the children?!?
