Funny story actually. When the news broke, I was a freshman in college. I didn't find out until someone on campus randomly mentioned it and I instantly realized it was my school. After class, I have a voicemail from my dad: "The FBI called the house. I don't know what you did but they want to talk to you. I think you better book a flight back." End of message. As a kid with many reasons to be paranoid, I was freaking out. Turns out, my dad was fucking with me. The FBI got all they needed about the meeting from the Principal. Plus I was under 18 at the time.

Well... we don't really know. Given the age of the kids, and the number of laptops that seemed to be monitored, I'd venture to say yes. Many.

Basically he didn't put down a deposit, then took the laptop home (not allowed without deposit), and claimed it was stolen. So they activated GPS and the camera to recover the laptop. Not to accuse him of doing drugs.

When the cameras were being activated remotely, a green light would appear next to them. It was not just that one incident. In fact, I'd venture to say there were at least a few people in every class I had who experienced the green light "issue".

Seemed like a good idea at the time. (haha only kidding)

Yes.

I believe they were put on trial for "holding the sausage hostage".
