I wouldn't doubt for a second that the "feature" was used by some creepy
employee (we all remember that math teacher who would openly leer down girl's
tops, right?). What I find most mind-boggling about this whole story, though,
is the idea that not a single person involved in the planning, design, approval
or implementation of the system thought of this before hand.
A lot of the time I excuse the security-idiocy of people simply because they
don't think about this stuff for a living. No big surprise that they miss the
point. But this kind of thing is (should damn well be) top-of-mind to teachers
in everything they do. WTF are you thinking setting yourself up by sending
children home with cameras to put in their bedrooms (often facing their beds,
based on my own kids' desks) without locking them down like Fort Knox? If you
*are* for some reason motivated to install the capability to turn on the damn
cameras, WTF are you thinking by *not* insisting on a forensically-secure
method of turning on those cameras that would make nuclear weapon authorization
look sloppy?
These *ssh*les should go to jail for sheer incompetence. (then they should be
beaten daily, but don't get me started on that).
