School to test for students' weekend drinking

Lest you think I've been overreacting of late against perceived threats to our liberty, I offer the following tale.

How long before we institute a urine test for sexual activity, punishing the unmarried for their fornications? It'd sure fit right in with "abstinence only" sex-ed classes, eh?

So am I really making mountains out of molehills? Draw your own conclusions.

Some teenagers who drink over the weekend could be in big trouble come Monday morning: A New Jersey school district plans to institute random urine tests capable of detecting whether alcohol was consumed up to 80 hours earlier.

Notes: If you put a <mailto:> link in the URL field your address will not be mangled: this could be a bad idea as your email address could be easily harvested by bots designed for SPAM. The comments field should now format correctly for line feeds and carriage returns: when you hit the 'Enter' or 'Return' keys in your comment it should break to a new line. The text should wrap cleanly. Please let me know if it doesn't. No HTML tags will pass through - entering links seems to be the main cause of comment SPAM. Also, please be sure that Javascript is enabled in your browser before attempting to post a writeback. Sorry for any inconvenience, but this really helps cut down on the amount of comment SPAM I have to deal with.
