And since you brought it up ... once employed ... that drugged up A & P mechanic does'nt get drug testing on a regular basis.


Really? That's news to me, because when I worked as one I was subject to random drug and alcohol testing on a regular basis, as part of the rules set forth by the FAA and the USDOT.


Do I want government intruding in my life? No more than you do, but you and I are not asking the government to support us, or at least I'm not. Getting a driver's license is not the same as asking for the government to pay for your livelihood, apples and oranges...apples and oranges.

Stigmatized? Really? I don't think they are asking anymore of someone on or applying for Welfare than they do of anyone else on the payroll of the state or federal government, except for the fact that the Welfare recipients are not WORKING for their money.
