Why cant you use another site besides proxy?
A anonymous proxy is designed to fetch a page and display it without the Url going through your work or schools firewall. Any program that does this would be in function a proxy. The TOR network in Germany in theory is a proxy but has a different name. At the heart of web browsing almost all surfing goes through a proxy server. In Linux it is called Apache in Windows I think just proxy service. It basically is the way the net works.

Is spam a form of privacy or security risk?
Not most of it. Spam is generally mail that is unwanted or not useful.
However, a significant amount of spam is encoded in HTML that contains links to images on web sites owned by the spammers. The links also contain unique identifiers that allow the spammers to know the e-mail address to which the spam was sent so that, if your mail reader automatically loads the images, the spammers will know that you received and opened the e-mail--thus verifying your address as an active spam target. Many people consider that a violation of their privacy and some mail readers have features to turn off automatic image loading.
Most spam does not represent a direct security risk. However, some spam contains links to web sites that will attempt to download malware to your machine if you click on them. That is more of a Trojan horse/browser problem than simply a spam problem.
Similarly, some spam attempts to trick people into divulging account names and passwords by directing you to a fake web site which simulates a legitimate site. This is generally called "phishing". Once again, it is not the spam itself, but the web site that it links to that is a threat.
In such cases, the spam could be considered an indirectsecurity risk.

When does a security guard have the right to search a suspect?
Security guards posses no more authority than the average citizen. They have no right to search you and trained to call the police if something happens. A guard may detain you if they think you've stolen something or are trespassing, but they may not search you unless you give consent. If a guard wants to search you, inform them that they must call the police or you are leaving. Security guards are often on power trips so they tend to think they have more power than they do. I worked as a security guard for several years and their main job is to call the cops when something happens.
The above is only partially correct in the State of California. Here are the guidelines in the Department of Consumer Affairs, Bureau of Security and Investigative Services (BSIS) Power to Arrest Training Manual, starting on page 56:
PART K.
SEARCHING THE SUSPECT
You should avoid searching a suspect. Laws protect the rights of suspects who are being searched. This section explains what you should and should not do.
You are not allowed to search someone in order to find evidence for making a citizen's arrest.
When you see someone steal something you have been hired to protect, you may first detain the person by telling him/her that they are under arrest for theft. Then you may physically detain the person for the police to search. You should not give the suspect an opportunity to dispose of any items taken.
If you have reasonable cause to believe you are in physical danger by detaining the suspect, you may search the individual for weapons.
REMEMBER
You may search for only one thing - WEAPONS (Penal Code §846).
METHOD OF "FRISK" SEARCHING FOR WEAPONS
A frisk is nothing more than a quick check to see if a suspect has a concealed
weapon. This should occur after the suspect is arrested. To frisk a suspect,
follow these steps:
A. Stand behind the suspect
B. Run your hands over the outside of their clothing
C. Pat those areas where a weapon might be concealed
D. Remove anything that feels like a weapon
CAUTION
Do not remove any article that does not feel like a weapon.

Please check the laws for the state in which you live for your rights as a security officer and/or as a citizen. Whenever approached by a security officer, in the State of California, a security officer has the right and responsibility to protect the interests of the property and/or business owner. Non-compliance with their orders can result in your being detained and arrested.
Improper or 'bad arrests' can result in legal action against the security officer and/or the business owner. Please consult the
'Power to Arrest Training Manual'

Bureau of Security and Investigative Services
in California, or the equivalent in your state to know your specific rights, responsibilities and liabilities. It will very likely be different from state to state.

Can you find email passwords embedded in hard drive if typed in before?
It depends if the user is using an email account is located on the computer or if they are using a browser based email account like gmail or hotmail. The passwords to the browser based email account would not be found on the computer unless the user decided to choose the option of remembering the user names and passwords when they were entering them in otherwise they would not be stored.
Sometimes people use key logging software or hardware to monitor all the key strokes that a person has typed in. They then search through what the person has typed after they have finished using the computer then search for passwords or sensative information. That's why it is not a safe practice to log into any online banking, etc on a public computer because you may never know who has installed key logging software.

Does a teacher have the right to pry into a child's medical history?
Answer
"Prying" into a child's medical history sounds derogatory. Certainly the teacher may ask the parent or guardian if there is a medical condition that is relevant to the classroom management of the child. It is their choice to give specifics or not. Most teachers would treat the information in a professional manner, helping the child. Without the information, they can take their best guess in arranging learning experiences for the child.
However, teachers should not recommend medications, merely that the parent/guardian have the child evaluated. Treatment is at the parent/guardian's discretion. Several cases have been in the news regarding active children who are assumed to be ADHD, so this can be a hot topic.
No, not without written permission from the minor's parents or legal guardian.
