Thanks for (indirectly) reminding me about this!
There has been an awful lot of discussion about devices like that where I'm from. They're painful, and it's certainly degrading to be subjected to that kind of treatment purely because of your age. I agree that it would make for a very interesting issue.
Also, some adults can still hear them.
They're supposed to be set to a range than over 25s can hardly ever hear, but I could still hear one of the local Mosquitos until a few years ago. Also, another idea for the issue, one father-daughter team turned this annoying (and painful) teen-deterrent into a parent-proof ringtone.
