Strip searching students illegal? Supreme Court not so sure - Los Angeles Times

"The Supreme Court gave a skeptical hearing today to lawyers who were urging a
rule against strip searching students at school.

Instead, most of the justices voiced concern that students could hide dangerous drugs such as crack cocaine or heroin in their clothes."

"For a moment, Justice David H. Souter tried to put himself in the mind of the vice principal who ordered the strip search of Savana Redding. The year before, a middle-school student had become violently ill after taking mysterious pills at school. The official may have feared a repeat.

"Better embarrassment [of one student] than the risk of violent sickness and death," Souter said."

Does this scare anyone else? Do you really want your children being strip seached at school?
