"Caches near, on or under public structures deemed potential or possible targets for terrorist attacks. These may include but are not limited to highway bridges, dams, government buildings, elementary and secondary schools, and airports."
That's my two cents worth....

3. Why didn't the people from Nevada explain to the person asking what they were doing, considering it was at a school.
4. Sadly some of the students comments shows what the future holds.
Just my $0.02 worth :

<div>Paul hit the nail right on the head. I'm convinced that a lot
of cachers really don't even read the guidelines for placing caches, and
very frequently place caches that don't adhere to those guidelines. Based on the
history of that particular school, I'm not so sure I would have allowed a cache
of this type to be placed there. The fact that the cache owner was a teacher at
that school and that HE didn't read the guidelines makes it even worse. It would
sure be nice if most folks put a little more thought into the placement of
their caches instead of just spewing out cache containers.................My 1
1/2 cents worth.</div>
