    yea its a Breathalyzer, no worries, hell even if i would have drank anything in the motel the night before its no biggie, but none the less, it is getting a little more then random and basically " before u can go home, u need to go test" it is just getting to be a nuisance when its every other month im having to take one.

    The problem is that I'm sure with the way they are in love with computers, they use one to come up with their "random" testing. Computers are incapable of generating a true random number. It is based on an algorithm that will produce the same set of numbers unless you manually tweak it from time to time. If you want a genuine random sample you need one of those turning barrels like they use for bingo. Put everyone's name in it, turn it a few times then reach in without looking. There is a reason they don't use a computer for the lottery.

    Uhhh, ok. I'm sure that statement has some validity, but it sounds ridiculous.

    actually roehl would be better off using a bingo number barrell for driver drug testing roehls criteria for drug testing is based on what you look like and how many tatoos you have.

    Ok, that's a for sure "no it's not". It's actually random.

    But it would be funny to see John spinning a big bingo barrel and having Greg read the names off for the people that were due for randoms. They should put that in the safety video.

    get picked multiple times in such a short period of time.
