The school's search of Redding's backpack and outer clothes was permissible, the court said. But the justices said that officials went too far when they asked to search her underwear.


In a dissent, Justice Clarence Thomas found the search legal and said the court previously had given school officials "considerable leeway" under the Fourth Amendment in school settings.

am i the only one that finds it funny that he's the one justice that thinks it's ok for a school official to go poking around in a teenage girl's underwear?
