Put a dead old phone in the bag, put feminine hygiene products in your clear bag.

The old phone trick is really nothing. Strong policies like this make it pointless. Having a dummy phone is the same as not having one, which is fine. The point of the policy is any visible cellphone is not allowed, so will get taken.

No, it allows students to have their phones with them to have them. That seems pretty clear. :)
