No one said they are a bunch of bums. What was said is that this is the school policy, and the principal was enforcing it. If he felt the need to do so, there must have been some students who failed to adhere to the policy. No one bothers good kids for no reason, and unfortunately because there might be one bad apple, the whole bushel gets tainted in the process. it is called collateral damage. I am certain if no one used the phone inappropriately, it would not have sent up a red flag to the principal to be checking up on the students at random. And maybe it is not random – maybe he is checking on students who have caused a problem before. If they have nothing to hide, they should not be humiliated by being asked to turn out their pockets. That is NOT the same thing at all, as being searched in the airport.
