certain collateral damage just isnt acceptable. if he has “probable cause” then im all for it…otherwise?…THEY ARENT PRISONERS!!!
as for “they have nothing to hide”…you have nothing to hide at the airport…would you still mind a complete strip search? i think so…
as for saving kids from going off the derech…i can gaurantee you no student is going off the derech from a cellphone alone. there must be an underlying issue that is causing his “off the derechness” and the phone is just a catalyst…so to subject the masses to such annoying and demeaning treatment for the benefit of a small group of kids who have other bigger problems…is just wrong! unless of course you took a vote…
