I'm not against it from a human rights perspective, although I can see their point. People voluntarily fly and submit to searches but for something (virtually) mandatory such as school, searches would be considered to be identical to the stop-and-search laws that are used on the street, and therefore can't be arbituary. I am against the idea as I think its impractical, won't stop the flow of blades in, and just cause far too much hassle. Anything worth smuggling, be it weapons, drugs, porn (advent of memory sticks), etc, can be concealed. If it were implemented, I wouldn't have any real objections I guess providing it was done reasonably well, but i'd tut about it a lot.
