Perhaps they could look for terror threats, such as light brites and stickers while they're at it.
Really though, what does it say that parents are going to let cops search their owns to implicate their children? What if the cops find the parent drug stash or illegal guns when they are investigating the children? I think this is a really bad idea. If you want your kid's stuff searched, do it yourself.

People are so obsessed with letting their kids have "personal space" that they seem to be forgetting who's in charge. "They don't know what to do when faced with a teenage boy with a gun"?? How about TAKING IT AWAY?
What the heck has happened to parental responsibility, anyway?
