Court ruling sets limits on prom pat-downs

Source: Santa Fe New Mexican

The U.S. District Court handed two Capital High School students a victory and a civics lesson Friday in barring Santa Fe Public Schools from routine "intrusive" body searches, even at voluntary events as prom and graduation.

The court also ordered the school district to provide at least one TSA-certified officer at tonight's prom and at graduations where a search may occur, and required the private security firm ASI "to train its employees working these events about TSA procedures."

2. Probable cause would be nice too.

You know, that pesky constitution thing that so interferes with the police ability to do their jobs -- Their job is to uphold the constitution. They swear an oath to do that.

4. The ruling did not end the searches, it just set conditions upon them.

And whats worse, TSA rules will be used to guide the searchers--that means anything goes.

These students are screwed.
