<p>“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.” </p>
<p>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)</p>
<p>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.</p>
