And you thought airport security was tight...

This from The Columbus Dispatch, via The Associated Press:

REYNOLDSBURG, Ohio (AP) — Students in this Columbus suburb will have to produce a student identification card or class schedule to get into Friday night’s football game, part of a new effort to reduce disruptions at the games.
High school officials instituted the policy after students from an another district caused problems at Reynoldsburg’s home opener. One student was arrested after arguing with a police officer.
Students not affiliated with the two competing schools can still attend, provided they are accompanied by a parent.
...The policy mandates that middle and high school students prove that they attend school in the Reynoldsburg or opposing team’s district.
...Aside from a few complaints that the measure punishes behaving students or prevents them from bringing friends to the game, the policy has been well-received, school board President Cheryl Max said.

So nowadays it takes more ID to go to a middle school or high school football game that it does to use a credit card to buy a week's worth of groceries.

Such is life.
