Metal Detectors In School

"This was at the bottom of the frontpage on the NY Times today. They WILL confiscate cell phones, iPods, and CD players.

Solution?

If you see the detectors set up, simply stand outside the school. Don't cause a commotion. Just stand there. Hopefully enough people will get this message and this can work as a protest. They have NO right to take away our cell phones or electronics and I for one will not put my personal possessions in their hands.

1. This entire thing was put in place for safety purposes. Confiscating objects that threaten no one is defeating the whole point.
2. Since we are so overcrowded, this search will only furtherly disturb the educational process. Much moreso then Cell Phones and other Electronics which are never used in the building to begin with.
3. Cell Phones have become a necessity to all those who own one. It's a blatant disregard for the student's convenience and in some cases even safety.

We need as many people to take a stand as possible."
