^^^ AOG - I meant searching bags and belongings of course! I do remember, however, that in one school where a theft had taken place and it had to have been done by a girl, all the girls were ushered into the hall and all female staff checked them and their belongings. I was one of the staff. There were no complaints or comeback. This was in the 1980's.

Yes maybe, but I think that they would be more likely to carry a knife on their person.

Not that I am suggesting anything improper on your part you understand, far from it, but you did say the 1980s, many improperalities claimed to have taken place during that era are now only just coming to light.
