The usual assurances that the iPod and the data were recovered are fine as

number of other students with similar access to update their clubs' pages,
not to mention teachers, substitutes, nonessential staff, etc.

personal information about every student enrolled at Joliet West High
School.

The student allegedly downloaded a list of names and Social Security
numbers to his iPod on March 7, according to reports.

Police Chief Fred Hayes said the school learned George C. Janecek, 18, had
gotten the information after he showed it to other students who notified a
teacher that day.
