It is a dark time for the Frederic Burrhus Skinner High School. Michael Lotta has been promoted to Assistant Principal, and is using the custodial troops to rid the school of Clever Boards. He has also begun to confiscate student wireless devices with the help of the newly constructed wifi sniffer.
In order to evade the wifi sniffer, a group of student tweeters have established a secret closed network using the 802.11z protocol on a remote Linux server.
Meanwhile, Assistant Principal Michael Lotta has become obsessed with stamping out the use of wireless technology and has dispatched the use of an enhanced wifi sniffer to put an end to all the tweet heads…
Midnight… 3rd Floor of Frederic Burrhus Skinner High School…
“Are you sure no one is here.”
“Yes, yes, yes. This is the perfect time to swipe the end of year examinations. Time to pick the lock.”
“This is strange. It seems that the door is open.”
“Stop! It’s a trap.”
“Oh no, too late.”
Michael Lotta, the new Assistant Principal appears from a secret door.
“Good Evening gentlemen. Say cheese to the camera. Perfect… You are now eligible for the Student Relocation Program.”
“The what?”
“I guess you did not read my new memo. Any student caught violating the school discipline code will be deported to our annex in France.”
“You can’t do this. You’ll never get away with this.”
“Oh no my young students. You will find out it is you who are mistaken about a great many things. Guards!!! Take them away!!”
Two weeks later…
Principal- “How goes the Student Relocation Program?”
Michael Lotta- “I have deported 67 students; a prime number.
Principal- “Excellent. This will help our school standing tremendously.”
Michael Lotta- “I hate asking you this, but is this really legal?”
Principal- “Don’t worry about it. I will make it legal.”
Epilogue… In just one month, Michael Lotta has inspired new levels of fear amongst the student body. Students think twice about tweeting. After all, if they are not careful, they could be the next student to join the Student Relocation Program…
