A school district in Pennsylvania handed out laptops to students. So far so good. But now the district is accused of remotely activating the built-in cameras to watch students and their families in their homes. Who ever could have approved such behavior? The idea of a school district, a governmental unit, remotely spying into the homes of students without even the decency of providing notice is anathema to the fourth amendment.  Perhaps the bureaucrats who implemented this scheme should be sent home with the same computers.

Update: The school district denies the allegations, and claims that the only technology they used was to track stolen or lost computers.

Update 2: Now the FBI is investigating, after the district apparently admitted that they used the laptop cameras 42 times.
