Students Banned, Then Unbanned From Apple Store For Unlocking iPhone

Four Palo Alto, California teenagers managed to get themselves banned from their local Apple store, at least for a few hours, after unlocking a demo iPhone to show a friend a racing game. After leaving the store, the manager came running out after the students. The manager promptly called the police and told the kids they were to be banned from his and every other Apple store in the world, which he effected by circulating photos of the kids to other Apple outlets.
Even so, managers of other stores have said that the students are welcome back, and an Apple spokesman has said they aren't banned from any Apple stores, anywhere, so they need not panic about being kept off line for the 3G iPhone when it launches next week (we hope).

I agree. Hey guys I want to see the racing game too. I couldn't give two cents if Apple banned me. Who needs places like that? XD

I think it's a sheer thing of Apple, on an international level, Publically declaring that Palo Alto manager to be a complete idiot.
I mean... how do you re-establish store-authority after *that*? Hope it blows over, rotfl? Claim to everyone who asks "That was the last guy. He doesn't work here anymore." ? =)
