You are a dangerous man from our Constitution's point of view. You, - and granted, - millions more like you, value security over liberty against all reason & even your own self interest.

I value my family's safety on the road more than the 'right' of a teen to do drugs and drive. I'm a really, really DANGEROUS man!!!

You create a strawman. Nobody here said that teens have the right to do drugs and drive. I'm sure everybody here agrees that driving under the influence of any drug is dangerous and therefor illegal. There are laws against it.

Read the first sentence: "Elizabeth Dole wants to require all teenagers to pass a drug test before getting a driver's license."

In effect, a innocent citizen will be forced to have his property (well, blood or urin) searched by law enforcment. If I remeber correctly, people should be save from unreasonable searches.

Amendment IV
The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.


Well, that's the way I see it.
