The faculty facilities should be the next target for zero-tolerance drug policies. I can imagine the hue and cry from the teachers' unions about the teachers' rights being violated if they were subjected to the same searches as the students. They don't even want to have teachers tested for their competency. Wait a minute! Could that be the reason some teachers don't want to be tested? Good grief, what next? Nicotine-sniffing dogs in the malls? John Straker Ottawa (Knock on wood) - --- MAP posted-by: Alex
