Better think of a better example than a cordless phone unless you are
referring to a cell-phone..... Unless the kid lives really close to the
school. The range is not that great on those things, at least not for
sustained communications.

The school district may decide to confiscate anything that violates their
publicized rules. If they feel it is interrupting or distracting the
students or feel that whatever the object is, is unsafe, then they could
confiscate. (unsafe object could be a knife for example)

A student is considered a "guest" on the premises and therefore does not
have exclusive rights as he would in his own home.

Is an entity such as a public school allowed to adopt a policy that allow
them to confiscate any device on their property that interferes with their
wireless devices?

For example:
Both devices are Part 15.
The school owns a wireless access point.
A student owns a cordless phone.

If a cordless phone interferes with a wireless access point and
the school's policy says "they have the right to confiscate any device
that
interferes with their wireless network"
Does the school really have the right to confiscate the cordless phone?

Also if a student's device is under part 97 do you still have the right to
confiscate it?


Here is a phrase from Part 15.5.b
interference must be accepted that may be caused by the operation of an
authorized radio station

Does this only apply to a device or to an individual using a device?
