The reason we all have to take drug tests is because of lying drug users. Wrong booth for sympathy, my italics below. I worked out of that terminal and heard even worse stuff than was in the report. The irony is that Amtrak removed a safety devices that would have stopped the stoners watching TV while running a train.
1987 Maryland train collision - Wikipedia
The Conrail locomotive crew failed to stop at the signals before Gunpowder Interlocking, and it was determined that the accident would have been avoided had they done so. Additionally, they tested positive for marijuana.[1] The engineer served four years in a Maryland prison for his role in the crash.
In the aftermath, drug and alcohol procedures for train crews were overhauled by the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA), which is charged with rail safety. In 1991, prompted in large part by the Chase Maryland crash, the United States Congress took even broader action and authorized mandatory random drug-testing for all employees in "safety-sensitive" jobs in all industries regulated by the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) including trucking, bus carriers and rail systems.
