Teachers snoop around student's cellphone

We don't know if the student in this story should laugh or sue (probably sue), but Christopher Klump, a high school kid in Pennsylvania, had his cellphone confiscated the other day by school officials, who then proceeded to read all of the student's text messages, listen to his voice mails, and call people in his phone book. And if that wasn't bad enough, they even sent a text message to the Christopher's 10-year-old brother while pretending to be him. One school official claimed that she read a text message on the cellphone from his girlfriend that read "I need a tampon", and since she is really down with all the latest slang and knew that tampon was slang for a large marijuana cigarette she concluded that the student was dealing drugs. (Right lady, I'm gonna go smoke up a phat tampon right now.) Anyway, like you'd expect, Christoper and his parents are filing suit for privacy violations in state and Federal court this week.
