LACONIA — Officers of the Laconia Police Department and the New Hampshire State Police, assisted by four trained and certified canines, conducted a search of hallways and lockers for illegal drugs at Laconia High School on Thursday.

Principal Steve Beals, in an e-mail to parents and guardians, said that officers and canines searched throughout the building from 9:30 a.m. to 10 a.m. while staff and students went about their scheduled activities.

Beals said that the school administration appreciates the work of the police in taking proactive steps to maintain a safe environment in the schools.

Well... as long as they are "trained and certified canines".

[Russell Kanning]

proactive steps for safety?

[Jim Johnson]

That's stupid... you're supposed to use OSHA dogs to look for safety problems.

I saw the print article and kept the local paper. I wanted to write a "rebuttal.  Where to start? There are so many things wrong with this occurence...

[Tom Sawyer]

The "journalist" just regurgitated the police and school verbiage.

Should we train children to accept warrantless searches?
Should we accept the idea that goose stepping makes people safer?

[Kat Kanning]

That's what school is all about!

I remember growing up and being told about all those "evil" governments around the planet.

Everything we were told about them is happening right here. All of it!
I don't recall being told about those governments doing stuff like this to kids in schools. Maybe this kind of "evil" stuff is reserved for kids in "Free" countries.

I'm sad and I'm tired.

[Russell Kanning]

can you imagine how much fun that school would be?

[Kat Kanning]

In Waxahachie, they were strip searching the little Jr. High school girls.

In Waxahachie, they were strip searching the little Jr. High school girls. 

The ladies were suspected of possession of Advil...  "Why don't you ladies just stick to the psychotropic pills the school provides for you?"

[Tom Sawyer]

Hey they should feel fortunate that they didn't drown them trying to prove whether they were witches or not.

Sir Bedevere: There are ways of telling whether she is a witch.
Peasant 1: Are there? Oh well, tell us.
Sir Bedevere: Tell me. What do you do with witches?
Peasant 1: Burn them.
Sir Bedevere: And what do you burn, apart from witches?
Peasant 1: More witches.
Peasant 2: Wood.
Sir Bedevere: Good. Now, why do witches burn?
Peasant 3: ...because they're made of... wood?
Sir Bedevere: Good. So how do you tell whether she is made of wood?
Peasant 1: Build a bridge out of her.
Sir Bedevere: But can you not also build bridges out of stone?
Peasant 1: Oh yeah.
Sir Bedevere: Does wood sink in water?
Peasant 1: No, no, it floats!... It floats! Throw her into the pond!
Sir Bedevere: No, no. What else floats in water?
Peasant 1: Bread.
Peasant 2: Apples.
Peasant 3: Very small rocks.
Peasant 1: Cider.
Peasant 2: Gravy.
Peasant 3: Cherries.
Peasant 1: Mud.
Peasant 2: Churches.
Peasant 3: Lead! Lead!
King Arthur: A Duck.
Sir Bedevere: ...Exactly. So, logically...
Peasant 1: If she weighed the same as a duck... she's made of wood.
Sir Bedevere: And therefore...
Peasant 2: ...A witch!
