Firstly, he wasn't allowed. Secondly, it's not classified info, merely safeguarded under the Privacy Act of 197yadah yadah. Thirdly, he was dragging the whole database home because he was doing mass data analysis algorithm testing. Oh, yeah, and was a dumbass.

And, my letter (to the principal, forwarded to the district info e-mail, and the superintendent's e-mail)
Mr. Welch:
As I'm sure you're now acutely aware, your school's policy on arbitrary cell phone searches has made a considerable stir in the community. While the question of legality is certainly out of my field of expertise, it is obvious that that there are legal concerns regarding the search of information and data stored on a student's electronic device.
The Metro West Daily News article suggests that your policy regarding wireless phones is to improve security, and to crack down on the sale of stolen items and drug sales. Crime fighting tends to be exclusively the purvue of the police; extending warantless police powers to your administration tends to alienate students. Where does the invasion of privacy stop? If schools are allowed to search lockers (proper, since it is, in fact, school property), backpacks (questionable), and cell phones (?!), what prevents the schools from performing mandatory strip searches or body cavity searches?
Obviously, this reaches an extreme that no-one is seriously willing to discuss - but realistically, where is the line drawn? Courts and public opinion of late have been willing to sacrifice liberty and privacy for a false promise of security - parents are some of the worst offenders. Where is the line drawn? How far is too far, and how far does a school's warantless police power extend?
Since the principal doesn't really answer to anyone except his boss (i.e., the schoolboard), here's the mail e-mail address for the School Committee (, board, whatever):
I live next to Hurlburt Field, the USAF Special Operations HQ, and one of the only bases with AC-130 gunships nearby. Every so often, you can see them doing that biiiig, lazy left hand turn around the area, and I'm told they practice-target vehicles and people and such kicking around town.:)
I'm also told they can hear what you're saying on the ground, but I digress.:)
Actually, an EE would know that the RF output on a cell phone is specifically NOT 2.4 GHz, but is actually 850/900/1300? MHz. See wikipedia for GSM and CDMA (fine, fine, and TDMA) frequencies.

It sucks that you went to all that work to figure it out, when you could've read the posts above you and learned that it's a 20 MHz allocation somewhere up around the 2.1 GHz band. At this point your signal is rabidly line of sight, and will probably require more towers per geographic area than cell phone towers do, plus an ungodly amount of infrastructure at each tower (not like cell phones don't have said infrastructure....)
However, I kinda like this "OMFG 300 million people on 20 MHz!" insanity.
So you take an average of propagation, and ou position your towers accordingly. What happens when propagation massively increases? NOAA weather radio has the same problem in my area; when the vhf bands open up, I'm smack in the middle between milton and tallahassee (fl) weather radio... so when the band opens up, I can't hear either one because the fm signals are interfering with each other and producing unintelligible gibber-jabber.

I wish I could agree with you in saying that the Democrats are going to do any better. If things go as they usually do, we'll see a series of scathing inquiries (that will be rejected by the "backwash" as godless anti-bush witch hunting), and the GOP will revert to its 1990s strategy of playing the underdog, while controlling the legislative branch of government.
In about two years - maybe less - we'll figure out that yes, the Democrats are ALSO in the pockets of lobbyists, appointing their own yes-men, and that brand new Democratic president is using all those leftover executive powers to his own advantage.
The two parties in power now will never again be effective -or safe- government. Thomas Jefferson famously said, "The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants."

It's legally mandated by the FCC in the US. However, that doesn't mean you can't use data modes; the standard just has to be published.

The line between encryption and compression on-air is very subtle.
