Kids Today

Aside from legal and constitutional issues, I just cannot understand the mindset such that someone in authority might think it's worth stripsearching a teenage girl over suspicion of freaking advil possession. I mean, I don't think it should be ok for schools to strip search anyone for rules transgressions. If there's a crime, get the cops involved. But I can at least get (not agree with of course) why someone might overreact if the suspected drug was one with a marginal recreational use and there were associated safety concerns, if the kids all started chugging nyquil or something. But it's freaking advil!
