Free the Kutztown 13

Seems a bunch of bunch of high school kids are up on charges because they “cracked” the administrative password on the laptops they were issued. In this case, the students were greatly assisted by the fact that some of the laptops had the administrative password taped to the back, and some students (the "Apple Corps") were told the passwords and all the laptops used the exact same passwords. Oh, and the password turned out to be the address of the school.

The kids shouldn't have done this, but this comes close to entrapment. Suspend them for a few days, start using a reasonable security policy and get on with your lives.
