So if the mail dude then says well hey just little hit at lunch or on the way back at the end of the day and runs over some little kid in his mail truck, then what? Our legal system would crucify him and the post office. There would never be a trial, just get out the check book. If you are a stoner at work in an office I doubt you would get much done and you would eventually get fired on your own. But hey if you are in a Bank and crunching numbers or need to be clear headed to do your job well, then why not? They should have a right to test.

Thanks for supporting my assertion that it's a separate issue, what you do on your job and what you do outside your job.
