Ma’am, your crotch seems to be ringing

Cellphone bans are forcing students to think of new “creative” methods to sneak their life nurturing cellphones into restricted areas [via]. I think the hot items for this Christmas will be ultra mobile / mini handsets so students stop scheming ways of sneaking phones into class.

City kids aren’t letting the cell phone ban hang them up. From paying to stash cell phones at delis to burying them “where the sun don’t shine,” students across the city are going to new heights to skirt the unpopular ban backed by Mayor Bloomberg. “It isn’t hard for girls at all. We just put the phone in our underwear,” said Veronica Abreu, 16, from Martin Luther King High School in Manhattan.

The cladestine operation of sneaking mobile handsets into school has gone underground as female students are doing the sneaky moves for male students by hiding handsets in their underwear. Good hiding places as security officials at schools are very unlikely to pat search anywhere above the knees.

I have a better idea for school officials. Would the installation of cell phone jamming devices prove more effective?

    I read this earlier this morning, you’ll be shocked to see how far some kids will go.
    However most school have a “If I dont hear it or see it, it doesnt exist” policy when it comes to cell phones. Confiscating them is a pain anyway.

    I wonder if it’s just modern darwinism.
    1. Person carries cell phone in underwear.
    2. Person becomes sterile from radiation.
    3. Person can not reproduce, therefore stops the underwear-stashing gene dead in it’s tracks.

    cellphone jammers?

    Oh-Noes!

  4. breakaway says:

    of course they wouldnt want to use the jammers…. then the adults can’t use their cell phones!

    Stuff me up their knickers instead!

    jammers=illegal :-)

  7. Chi says:

    Yeah it’s a shame about Jammers being illegal. Otherwise the movie theater industry would be better off.

    However, there is nothing that prohibits passive blocking of cellular signals. Thus, it’s possible to “block” cellular signals without resorting to an active jamming device.

    Now if some schmuck would invent the darn thing already.

    My highschool had a cell tower installed on it my senior year.
    Our principal was a genious; we could never get reception inside and no one used their phones, then he puts up a tower on the roof, and he wonders why there are more phones around.
