Why would you care?

Larry and Yvonne Meadows are suing the Lake Travis School District. The district's security program includes screening adult visitors to the school through a registered sex offender database. Sounds like a good idea to me -- who wants registered sex offenders wandering around the halls in the public schools?

But Larry and Yvonne claim that this process violates their right to privacy and other rights. I can think of only one reason a person would care whether or not they were checked through the database. I suspect Larry's and Yvonne's photos just might pop up if you ran their names through it.
