Like maybe stuffing in a background app that responds to pings from bluetooth or other. But if they are going to penalize for not giving them access (besides having bluetooth enabled for querying, they need some other information to associate the bluetooth device to a user) to a privately owned phone, they can probably expect a class-action (no pun intended) lawsuit. Besides, isn't it considered polite to turn off a cell phone while is a venue like a class room? -- Wulfraed Dennis Lee Bieber AF6VN wlfraed@ix.netcom.com HTTP://wlfraed.home.netcom.com/
