Big Brother?

I saw an update of this story in the news.  I thought I would post it.

"But in at least five instances, school employees let the Web cams keep clicking for days or weeks after students found their missing laptops, according to the review. Those computers - programmed to snap a photo and capture a screen shot every 15 minutes when the machine was on - fired nearly 13,000 images back to the school district servers."

What I find interesting is this had been going on for a couple of years.  So when bayview posted his article in Jan. 09 the school had been spying on the kids for over a year already.

If I am recalling correctly, the kids laptop was not even "missing", they had heard he was doing/dealing drugs and the principal did indeed call the IT guy (3rd party) to activate the camera....Are you guys all looking at me right now???   Nah.... you'd see pics you didn't want to, similar to my  identity, if you stole it, you would soon return it! lol
