[quote:86b3b]School officials are not the same as parents insofar as consent to search is involved: in other words, the fact that the school is charged with protecting children during the day does not mean that the principal or assistant principal stands in loco parentis, that is, in place of the parent. This means that school officials lack the legal authority to consent to a search "for" the child.

School officials need not obtain a search warrant or have probable cause before searching: only reasonable suspicion is needed.[/quote:86b3b]

The school had no reasonable suspicion that EVERY student was guilty of the crime so now, according to the Supreme Court that was not an unchallangeable action.
