Wow. Why is this thread still alive?!

Happened today about 15 miles from my house

This is how we deal with bomb threats. We call the air force have them come in to sweep the place and tell parents and kids not bring backpacks the next day or they will be searched the next day. We did not lock down the school pat all the students down or evacuate either

It is kind of cool. Most times kids only get to see that shit playing Counterstrike or whatever the fuck they play online these days.

home school.

because of actions of others, a LOCKDOWN is neccesary. IT IS TO ENSURE SAFETY.

whats next??? telling him that if theres a fire alarm, You DONT have to leave the building, just do what you want??
come and go from class as he pleases??

Did you even read my last post? The whole detained/lockdown was just in response to another comment. I understand that aspect and could care less.

Also what most here missed was my emphasis on the kid thinking that the entire situation was cool. Slightly concerning.

No, my wife is brothers with a 15 year old....

And yes, I have a problem with search without reasonable doubt.

Oh, and they were detained. Lockdown.

Please, tell me how you really feel.

And yes Einhander, magic.

I think I've reached a point where we will all just have to agree to disagree. As demonstrated in this thread, I can see where there are always going to be issues in handling such a sensitive and tense situation. There are so many different possibilities that your are always going to have someone thinking you either did too much, or did too little.

That said, I stand by the opinion that the kids should not have been physically searched without first contacting parents for permission. Everything else, given the situation I can understand.

[einhander]

Again, I fail to see how a search has any effect on said bomb going off. If it were going to happen, it would have whether or not everyone was searched.

You're the one who said earlier that the place should be secured.

How else are you going to secure it?

Magic?

Lots of people in this thread that know nothing of US criminal law spouting off misinformation in this thread.

At the end of the day, the police had every right to detain and search the students.

Some people know everything.

[Exodus_2pt0]

would your "blood boil" more or less if they didnt search students and a bomb actually went off and killed some people.

better safe than sorry.

This^ it was a bomb threat...nothing to hide no worries. I don't see the problem.

*Looking at it from a safety aspect*

Poor straw man argument when civil liberties and key amendments are involved. But as mentioned you lose lots of those things when you into govt owned/controlled facilities which most schools are. Kinda funny that the highest law in the land that was conceived to restrain govt power, has little authority with in govt controlled areas huh
