Random? No. With all due respect, "Random" has nothing to do with this issue so the rest of your questions are mute.

A) Why shouldn't kids have to take drug tests? If an adult wants to work for a living, they are subjected to drug tests, why should we treat kids with (pardon the pun) kid gloves? In the workplace, ALL adults are "considered guilty" until a drug test proves otherwise. Why coddle the kids. I have worked with young teens as a coach and teacher in the past and if you think your kid's a saint, maybe YOU should be taking random tests...

Then what does drug testing in the workplace have to do with it? Don't workplaces do random drug testing?

"Don't workplaces do random drug testing?"

None that I am aware of, or I probably should say none that I have worked for. But again, the performance of my job would not put others at risk such as an airline pilot or bus driver, etc.

This issue is about putting drug testing in place at the "point of entry". Much the same as the issue that came up with the security checks at the NC State Fair. It is unconstitutional to pull people out of a crowd at random to search bags and purses but you can set up a screening point that all patrons would have to go through when you enter the fair grounds.
