So we're afraid somebody is going to fly a chess board into a building?
Actually, I have doubts about many laws which restrict travel. The humiliation of going through the next generation of imagers is going to raise some serious doubts. My wife used to travel for a consulting company. Would she be willing to put up with those kind of intrusive searches? Probably not.
What I am inelegantly asking is what value are the school administrators and the individual chess players getting from the students humiliation? There is value in a safe flight. It is doubtful any lives will be saved by these urine tests but it is likely that some kids who would gain much from the competition and comradery of a club activity will not participate because they are easily embarassed. Some kids will choose not to participate because they are stoners. This would give them one less structured activity in their day possibly pushing them further into the drug culture. IMHO
