HOPKINSVILLE, Ky. - A class of third-grade students got a lesson in civil liberties when an envelope containing $5 disappeared from their teacher's desk.

The students at Martin Luther King Elementary in Hopkinsville were asked to remove their shoes and socks during a search. Some were patted down and had their pockets checked.

Some parents were angered by the Feb. 15 searches, which did not turn up the missing money at the western Kentucky school.

2. I'm not sure how patting down would find a five.
Unless it was five dollars in quarters or something, 'cause it occurs to me that dollar bills are paper and thus rather flat.

3. How would they know a five dollar bill didn't already belong to the kid holding it?
