I say random drug tests on every single person recieving a paycheck from the government. Whether they are a politician, judge, attorney, teacher, or welfare recipient. If they test positive, the first time they get counseling, the second time no more checks.

Adiction is a disability, least according to the wacko laws we have. So if you even try to pull checks, you'll get the left screaming that you're stealing from the disabled...

As for the thread topic, bah. Random drug testing is a bad idea, expensive, and prone to lawsuits.

But it's OK for the military and also for every single person (like me) in the US with a commercial driver's license. If I was to get into an accident while driving a commercial vehicle, I'm required to take a urinalysis immediately even if the accident is not my fault. For me it's not a problem, but the double standard annoys the heck out of me. If you're going to require drug tests of students then you sure as heck better be testing teachers, principals, administrators, janitors, coaches, etc....
