...believe the person has committed a crime. But courts have recently given schools wide leeway in searching lockers, cars and backpacks and administering drug tests even on a random basis. Permian High administrators, for example, periodically seal off hallways, order students to drop what they are carrying, then run the purses and backpacks through metal detectors...
...Anastasijevic doesn?t see that as helpful. "If there are new elections while Milosevic still controls the media, Milosevic will win and Draskovic ? or anyone else ? will lose," he says. "It?s that simple. But Draskovic still believes he can change the system from within, and he will run and run if it takes 20 years."

"He was head of counterintelligence at a time when security at DOE was very sloppily run, and for him to say there were no significant problems is self-serving," she says. "Does Bill Richardson believe that Lee spied? Yes. Is he scapegoating some officials because there?s now no case against Lee? Probably," she says. "Is there more to this than meets the eye?
