Well, it is already established that you can take bodily fluids from school children if they want to join the chess club. That one made it through....
I assume metal detectors are 100% legal, both pass-though and wands...that would allow school officials to search little betsy for the knife or gun.
The girl in question was turned in by a classmate who said she had pills. She did - Tylenol (no kidding).
Personally, I would take my kids out of that school if this policy was in force.
Is it reasonable to think that a 13 year old girl who is in honors class is carrying a gun? My opinion would be that was WAY unreasonable.....has it even ever happened? Has any 13 year old girl in honors ever taken a gun to school and harmed people?
If the chances are 1 in 10,000 - is that reasonable? How about 1 in one million - about your chances of dying in a plane crash (notice no parachutes are in the plane?).
