Students out hidden cameras at Newton South High School

Some argue that traditional concerns about privacy are becoming a thing of the past, as in this article, Say Everything, which appeared earlier this year in New York Magazine. But that's not to say that everyone, even young people, feels just fine about being spied on.

As the Boston Globe reports today, journalists at Newton South High exposed the installation of secret cameras in their school, without any notification.

We've said before that teaching people to be casual about submitting to surveillance is a bad idea. These reporters have shown that simply assuming they'll be casual about it is still a bad idea too.
