We don’t know if the student in this story should laugh or sue (probably sue), but Christopher Klump, a high school kid in Pennsylvania, had his cellphone confiscated the other day by school officials, who then proceeded to read all of the student’s text messages, listen to his voice mails, and call people in his phone book. And if that wasn’t bad enough, they even sent a text message to the Christopher’s 10-year-old brother while pretending to be him. One school official claimed that she read a text message on the cellphone from his girlfriend that read “I need a tampon”, and since she is really down with all the latest slang and knew that tampon was slang for a large marijuana cigarette she concluded that the student was dealing drugs. (Right lady, I’m gonna go smoke up a phat tampon right now.) Anyway, like you’d expect, Christoper and his parents are filing suit for privacy violations in state and Federal court this week.

You know whats funny? I have two phones, one got confiscated with bluetooth on . Now you probably know what i did next...i bluejacked my own phone with 15 times one after another... My messages were

1) Don't even think
2) About touching
3) Or Snooping
4) My Phone
5) Bitch
6) Do it and ill
7) Sue your ass
Don't think I
9) Won't know
10) STOP IT
11) You're still
12) Looking
13) Ill give you 3 chances
14) One
15) Two

Needless to say, the phone turned off after that, safe from snoopers with my lock code and PIN code (which she tried to crack because it asked for PUK after, when i got it back (but its ok i have my PUK)) and I threatened to sue her unless she gave me a new prepaid sim with 200 euros credit. She had to comply...

I have a contract with unlimited credit, and i know my PUK so it wouldnt have mattered but serves her right!

Luckily nothing was changed, no messages sent or looked through (I dont think she knew how to operate it).
