These types of searches, while resulting (they hope) in the positive of a drug free student body, are little more than training to get young people used to the intrusive police state we're leaving them with. We were appalled when our school administration pulled the fire alarms and ran the police dogs through the building looking for pot. Now your chess coach has to make sure you pee in the cup instead of smuggling a sample of your little brothers urine in. You know that shy super-nerd kinda kid who won't go out for soccer because he doesn't want to shower with the team, well now we're going to prevent him from joining the chess, choir, or D and D clubs as well. "You've nothing to fear if you've nothing to hide." Isn't that what they always say? Well think about that when the vice-principal has his rubber glove up yer ass. Step by step folks, dwi roadblocks without cause, car searches, airport security abuses of women... King George is starting to look liberal these days.
