He is correct that we would have to pay to do the tests etc...but then again he is thinking in a PC manner also. We are all being lulled into a bit of political correctness anymore. My ideas...
The test is not that expensive in and of itself so if the person tested is not using any of the items that would not be allowed the cost would be paid from the System and we would have to fund it..if the person is found to be using one or some of the illegal substances..the costs would be paid from what they would have been paid ..leaving quite a bit left over because at least 50% are using illegal stuff much less alcohol... As far as appeals...That is where the PC thing comes in..what appeal?? Why should there be an appeals process. The gray areas are not there. Either the person was using illegal drugs or he wasn't...either yes or no. If yes..no money...if no he or she gets the money. We have allowed the lawyers to put waaayyy too much gray areas into the law as it is. This would have to be a hard nosed, no gray, black or white issue if it was done at all. So from this point...it is very apparent that this could never happen in our society today...no matter how much we would like to see it. Could you see the hierarchy of the ACLU if this went through?? They would be like a PACK of junk yard dogs.. Another problem that I could see...the government would hire unemployed people to administer the test and there would be so many payoffs it wouldn't be funny!
