*me shakes head in amazement*

makes me wonder:
- - wireless lan's are non-physical -> allowed ?
- - if both the pupil-lan and administration-lan have a connection to a 3th 
network (like say The Internet), you then have an indirect connection 
that ,with the wrong setup, allows everything the physical connection 
allows. (if that's not allowed do all school administrators have 2 
computers, one for connection to the outside world, and one to do the 
administration?)

it's already illegal under privacy laws to allow access to personal data, 
way on earth do they have an additional disallowing 1 particular type of 
(physical) setup that _might_ be abused if the software setup is done 
naively?
