We can see both sides of this, right? "FlySense 286 sensors detect the chemical signature of vaping pen emissions, enabling automated alerts for appropriate personnel. The sensors also monitor ambient noise levels without the invasion of student or faculty privacy, and they send alerts when noise patterns change in ways indicative of conflict or outright bullying." A lot of people will raise privacy issues, but as one who suffered at the hands of bullies, I would ask, should they have the right to bully in private? (Ralph James taught me how to box, which saved me, and I'll be forever grateful, but I'd rather just have done without the beatings.)
