I have withheld the names of the people involved.
If you need to know them contact Paul Doherty.

Some professors at the University of Maryland (not
physics) were putting their answers on line before the test hour was
over. Industrious and technically savvy students were using their cell
phones DURING THE EXAM to retrieve answers off the web. They were caught
when some professor put wrong answers on his web site and checked the
tests. The lawyer for the students claimed "entrapment!"
