Does teachers and administrators have the right to confiscate them?

My friend had hers taken away because it went off in the office after
school.
The principal said that she was making drug deals, and gave it to the
constable liaison of the school.
Isn't this bizarre?
The real bizarre thing is that if your watch alarm goes off, they don't
care. but if your pager does, they get really mad.

I really don't think that they have the right to confiscate anything because
they are personal property.
It's not like they're illegal like switch blades, fireworks... I could
understand if they were taken away
if it went off in class but out of class after school? I couldn't understand
why would they confiscate pagers
and cell phones. Why do kids have them at school? It's totally none of your
business.

What authority would they have?
It's like have some guy on the streets coming up to you and say "hey dude,
gimme that pager."
It's totally wrong.

Anyways, what can I write to the administrator to have the pager back?
