With respect to zero tolerance rules, it isn't paranoia, it's knowledge. Boomers know what we did when we were young, we don't want our kids doing it, and since we know what would have stopped us, we know how to stop them. This is also why Millenial protesters end up being used as political pawns, rather than creating a self sustaining protest culture as the Boomers did in the 1960s.
It seems quite clear from the evidence, as the recent author described (don't remember who right now), that it is indeed paranoia. Crime has been low for 2 decades, and yet parents still act like it's 1984. And it wasn't even that bad then.
The present trends are indeed paranoia, but the parents involved are generally not boomers. Zero tolerance rules are older than helicoptering, and did start under boomer parents, but had to do with control of the children, not with paranoia, at least originally.
Quote:Hillary Rodham Clinton did not think "it was a good idea to put classified information on an unsecured server." She may have let a few through because they weren't properly marked, but that's all you can say so far. Just how some of the Clinton emails MAY have gotten on Anthony Weiner's laptop is quite a mystery. Abedin doesn't know. If I were a conspiracy theorist, and it's not even that far fetched, I would suggest that the Russians put them there.
Actually the classified emails were properly marked. Clinton now claims she didn't recognize the markings since in email they were individual letters rather than the full word.
Abedin has said she rarely used Weiner's computer, which means she did use it on occasion. Most likely what happened was that when she logged in to her email, the email application downloaded and cached all her recent emails - most email applications do that - even though she only looked at a few of them.
