Prom and drinkin'

I saw this article on TheState.com and thought to myself.."what about personal liberty and freedoms?".....I know one may agrue that it curbs teen drinking, DUIs and possibly deaths but is anyone thinking about the rights of these teens. I know many schools look for 'drunks' at proms and do some things to try and discourage drinking before or after prom but a blood-alcohol test? Wow....these kids better get there early b.c it could take awhile to get through the door.

You decide and after you read this...

Hilton Head High to require blood-alcohol test to enter prom
HILTON HEAD ISLAND, S.C. - Hilton Head High School students will need more than fancy dresses and tuxedos top get into this year's prom. They'll also have to pass a blood-alcohol test.
The school decided to test all students to see if they have been drinking after several students arrived at last year's prom drunk, said Obie Schramm of the Beaufort County School District.
"Unfortunately, there's always a handful of students drinking, and that makes it hard for everyone. We don't want something terrible to happen," Schramm said.
School officials will administer the tests, principal Helen Ryan said.
Alex Clare, who is helping to organize the prom, said he supports testing for alcohol.
If I'm not drinking, then it doesn't bother me. I think some people are mad at it, but I can see why (the school) did it," Clare said.
Beaufort County school officials said they will look at Hilton Head High's plan before deciding whether to do blood-alcohol tests at the district's other three high school proms.
