I'm not saying that what they did is right, or warranted for the situation; they handled it very poorly. But in this day an age where lawsuits or fear of them restrict most into inaction when it comes to a gray area like this, you almost have to admire their gumption- that is if it was not instead complete stupidity.

Middle-School Strip Search Ruled Unconstitutional 528

yuna49 writes "The US Supreme Court today ruled 8-1 that the strip search of a 13-year-old girl by officials in an Arizona middle school was unconstitutional. However, by a vote of 7-2, the Court also ruled that the individual school officials could not be held personally liable. A suit for damages against the school district itself is still going forward. We discussed this case at length back in March when the Court decided to hear the case on appeal."

My non-existent medical knowledge tells me there's a long wait for organ transplants. I wonder if Steve received accelerated care thanks to his status.

It definitely didn't hurt I'm sure he worked the system to fullest- doing things such as getting on every transplant waiting list he could.
