National DNA registry, anyone?
No. They would never do that!
Read this disgusting proposal. Aside from the truly disgusting civil liberties implications, will the results be kept private? I doubt it.
Notice this is all done by Bush fiat. No discussion, no law, no public debate.
And hey! When the Bush twins take the test, I'll take the test!
Read this disgusting proposal. Aside from the truly disgusting civil liberties implications, will the results be kept private? I doubt it.
The hair, saliva and sweat of federal workers could be tested for drug use under a government policy proposed Tuesday that could set screening standards for millions of private employers.
The proposal will expand the methods to detect drug use among 1.6 million federal workers beyond urine samples. It is being implemented with an eye toward the private sector, however, because it would signal the government's approval for such testing, which many companies are awaiting before adopting their own screening programs.
The rule is subject to a 90-day public comment period. A final plan could be issued by year's end.
