Prisoners in El Salvador have found a, um..., creative way to hide cell phones on their persons.
Without boring you with burdensome detail, it seems a good bet this method will evade detection in a typical search. Hopefully, kids looking to evade detection by Bloomberg's cell-phone police won't read this story.
I'd hate to imagine one of these phones going off in class. Some teachers I know instruct their students to leave phones on vibrate as part of a "Don't ask, don't tell" approach. After reading this, I don't even want to contemplate the potential consequences.
The virtues of pointless mandates are few and far between. The consequences are rarely positive.
And don't kids merit more privileges than prisoners?
