The school board in Saint-Jerome, Quebec, says staff at a local high school should not have strip searched students [without doing an elbow deep cavity search] to find a missing cellphone.

You know what I do when I can't find my cell phone? I dial it and listen for the ring. But to be fair to the school, I also do that naked.

Well, a *smart* thief would have turned it off.

Of course a *smart* thief would have threatened a lawsuit the instant someone told him to take off his shirt.

Then again a *smart* thief wouldn't have wasted time stealing a phone anyway.

Donald Trump is dropping $1 million on election research? For the Stupid Party? Just appear on Fox News a lot, go to Bob Jones U, one trip to Israel, and then kiss Fat Rush's ring - you're in.

And to think, in 2012 Gary Johnson wasn't considered a "serious" enough candidate to get to the debates but this bozo was.

Oh and do you *still* think we're Republicans here?

It is Quebec. Some of the female students might have deep enough bush to hide a 1980's brick cellphone.

If only. Most of those kids will happily trade a little freedom for a little security once they see those government goodies.

Its Quebec - socialism and state control of everything down to the very language you speak is beaten into them from birth.

Care to rephrase?

In the heat of the moment

"Dammit! I was counting on a paid vacation for this! I bought plane tickets and everything!"

Did they find the phone? How did they even know it was missing? I don't get it.
