But Walters, who advocates testing all students, says the random checks are a powerful deterrent and a weapon students can use against peer pressure. Since drug addiction is a disease, he says, it should be treated like tuberculosis or other infectious diseases that students are screened for.

After school programs I can see, but all students? If you tested me during school hours, I'd tell them to go to hell. No warrant. No search. They wouldn't have found jack, but my 4th amendment rights are worth keeping.

"We have a tool to protect young people," says Walters, a Michigan native. "And young people should have the right to expect adults to protect them."

And who the hell is going to protect young people from bureaucrats and power hungry pols from which most protection is needed.
