“this example of heightened security strikes me as an excessive intrusion of students’ personal privacy that might result in unwarranted encounters with police and campus security.”

You make it seem like some communist regime has taken over college security – like there are illegal wire taps, illegal search and seizures, illegal detainment of students – oh wait, that is a communist regime that is the United States. (sorry I couldn’t resist)

I have been at Hopkins for nearly 5 years and was here before the vast improvement in security. Since the changes I have never heard any students complain about invasions of privacy. And as for parents I have spoken with, they realize the state of affairs in today’s society, and that incidents can happen ANYWHERE. All that I have spoken with appreciate that Hopkins is being pro-active with securtiy, and spending A LOT of money on these measures.
