The South Korean fuzz just busted a monumental cheating ring , take hold of 141 college - bound kid crib answers from SMS . The government has responded by vowing to equip every testing center with cellphone jammers , of the form pictured to the right . Sure , it ’ll cost somewhere in the neighborhood of $ 66 million . And the dollars - to - donut bet is that some enterprising hustler will merely jam the jammer . But it ’s a lot cleaner than conducting full torso search on every test taker , which seems to be the only other marriage proposal on the table .
I ’d say the most surprising thing about this story is the fact the kidskin got hold for cheating . I wager the American prison - industrial complex would positively wet itself with gloating if cheating equaled jail time over here .
