A 13-year-old Arizona girl was strip searched by employees at her middle school because they thought she had drugs. Not crack. Not heroine. Ibuprofen: an over-the-counter headache remedy that is safer for children than aspirin.
The girl could legally buy this drug at any grocery store, but her middle school, run by dedicated soldiers in the war on drugs, bans students from possessing any drugs, legal or otherwise. When an administrative assistant at the school heard a rumor this girl possessed Ibuprofen, they subjected the girl to a humiliating strip search, hell-bent on catching her. (It turned out she did not have Ibuprofen or any other drug on her.)
The worst part is that the 9th Circut Court -- yes the supposedly liberal one -- ruled the school was acting properly. Appearantly, the Bill of Rights does not apply when it stands in the way of protecting youth from over-the-counter headache relief.

Update: The Ibuprofen this girl was rumored to possess was prescription strength. Thank you to marykk for the info.
