I thought it was Republicans who were for smaller government. /sarcasm

It makes me happy to see Senator Simitian is making a stand for this. As tinfoil as it sounds I believe RFID chips implanted everywhere would be a large intrusion into our private lives. Our actions and locations would be that more easy to record and track.

Students in k-12 do not have rights like normal citizens. They are the responsibility of the school during school hours. This would be a great idea and help limit vandalism. The school already has the rights to open backpacks, purses, lockers, etc at their discretion. Whats the difference?
