DEA Lays Out Crazy Places Your Kids Can Hide Drugs

The Drug Enforcement Administration's new website, GetSmartAboutDrugs.gov, says that your kids may be hiding drugs in some pretty crazy places.

The website lists 10 common hiding places that your children may be utilizing to store their drugs.  The list includes: alarm clocks, graphing calculators, highlighters, shoes, candy containers and wrappers, posters, vents, teddy bears, vehicles, and game consoles.

The DEA's warning about graphic calculators gave people on Twitter some great ammunition.
