MMS SEX Scandal Problem in School

the growing "scandal" in India where two students recorded a sexually explicit video with a cameraphone and it got sent around via MMS. At the time, we noted that the school in question had responded by banning all mobile phones at the school, which seemed a bit extreme. Why punish everyone for something a few students did -- and which was unlikely to have been done at the school in the first place? However, that scandal took on a life of its own, even leading to the arrest of the head of eBay's Indian subsidiary because someone tried to sell the MMS video on that site. Now, the government in New Delhi has taken the ban on mobile phones to an even more ridiculous extreme, and has banned all mobile phones from all public schools, while urging other schools to do the same. Again, it's hard to see how this is anything but an over reaction to the issue. It wasn't the phones that created the problem, but the students who misused the phones. Why should everyone else get punished for that? At the same time, is this really likely to stop similar things from happening again?
