      @lnxwalt280 just as a start to the convo, did you read the article?

      I did read it. I'm also familiar with districts using RFID-based student ID tags.

      To me, the reality that this will eventually get shot down (by SCOTUS?) should act as a brake for some extreme decisions.

      @douglasawh I know that having power promotes the exploitation of that power, but I recognize a see-saw-ness to power. If people are restrained as their power crests, they may find that the backlash is less pronounced.
