Schools across the country are targeting digital media players as a potential cheating device. Devices including iPods and Zunes can be hidden under clothing, with just an earbud and a wire snaking behind an ear and into a shirt collar to give them away.

more coverage here... man, back when we were in school we had to write stuff on our hands. One girl actually got a razor blade and cut a piece of paper in half WIDTH-WISE, giving her twice as much cheat-sheet room. She got caught, and the teacher could not deny that it was a marvel of cheat engineering.

(I guess, until they fix the Plays For Sure functionality on the Zune, all it can really be used for is music piracy and cheating!)
