Uniforms are still around - it depends on the school, But brainwashing might be a bit strong a term- it could be encouraging an espirt de corps, or providing a leveller - no arguments over who has the best trainers/sneakers.
I might argue a religous school is more akin with brain washing, rather than a uniform per se.
I don't think I would worry about the telling the authorities bit in general, school children are second only to the mafia in the 'don't squeal' stakes.
And paying attention to copyright laws? Doubt it, I have more faith in them than that! ALso, unless the law can be effectively enforced it will likely be ignored.
And while there is an argument of 'harm to the copywriter' I don't think it'll sway that many really.
Ok.. but referring to visual and audio devices - what about a cop walking up to to your door and listening, or looking through the window?
It seems that they are preventing the use of technology to do searches, but what about the good old fashioned manual methods, are they 'constitutional'?

Maybe, but a constant supply of sugar & caffeine, courtesy of the airline, for anthing over 7 hours may well overcome this effect.
Ok from Holland.. perhaps the UK is now one of those rogue states?
Have you seen the size of an infrared scanner? That's a lot of lube..
And that would be a... metal detector?

The only important consideration is: can I read it in the bath?
