There is no legal issue. E.g. this happens to people in the army (and conscription is legal under US law), who are not allowed to have unauthorized communications equipment with them.

The army is a poor model of what happens in civilian life.

Conscription is legal, the military can send you to die taking a hill ergo it is legal for the government to kill people without their consent. See how silly that line of logic was?

Kids don't give up all civil rights by going to school. This has been established.
