Students at Ruston High School in Louisiana are required to wear ID cards
around their necks as part of the added security measures at the school. The
ID cards contain the pictures of the student, a Pepsi logo, and the students
social security number in bar code form. The bar codes are in plain sight
and for all to see in clear violation of Federal Law. The school claimed
that the bar codes had been encrypted. Students have since broken that
trivial encryption.
