I hope the tech people and leadership who implemented this spying (and the principal who tried to have the boy suspended) are all fired and fined heavily to make an example. <p> Also, I have a laptop issued by my job that I have to carry everyday. It has a built in cam too, so my solution is to just cover the cam lens with paper. I taped a piece over it and now they can take all the pictures they want.
