Other people, not just the teacher performing the search, were given the ability to indirectly intrude on my person. Even with the Vernonia School District, the drug tests were performed so that only the person officially performing the search was present. It wasn't that bad. It really pissed me off. No one cares.
People are completely apathetic to the flagrant violation of privacy.
Since the incident, it has been weird being around the teacher. It's like he thinks I'm a bad kid because I challenged the system. All I have to say is that this is a sad situation. First of all, the constitutional rights of all students involved were completely ignored. Second, I am disappointed in myself that I backed down.
