Re: [xmca] Being Searched at School

Surveillance takes other forms in more affluent suburbs.

In Lower Merion outside Philadelphia, the high school issued laptops to 
the students, and then remotely turned on the built-in cameras so they 
could monitor the students' activities in their bedrooms or wherever.

For those who aren't familiar with high schools in poor neighborhoods in US cities, the scene is set at the school entrance where security guards put their stuff through a metal detector and search the kids each morning. Enjoy their creative response to an impossible and oppressive "learning" environment.
