Reply #131: How about this [View All]

I knew somebody that worked at a nuclear power plant back in the 1980's and what they did is the following. They had a computer program that put a X in the middle of the computer monitor, you would use a mouse and when an O (the symbols I'm using may be wrong but the idea is the same) appeared somewhere on the screen you had to drag and drop it on the X. When you first started working there they had you run through this enough times to get a baseline as to what your capabilities were. If you came to work or back from lunch and you couldn't preform the little test within the allowed limits you were told to go home. They didn't care whether the reason was drug use, alcohol use, lack of sleep or problems in your personal life if you couldn't show your reflexes and attention were up to par you didn't work. The tests should not be to find the residual presence of drugs but to test for current impairment.
