This could be solved by kids showing what they are hiding in there pockets also.
In all, random searches can happen at any time because it prevents increasing violence, lockers aren't student's property, and it keeps the school environment safe. Although some people may disagree, i feel that it is the best way to keep everyone safe and have a better, well functioning
