"As for the young lad in Norway, they have been doing random spot check breath tests on the ramp as far back as I can remember, not just departing crew but arriving crew from foreign airlines, he really should have known better."
they do them all the time and not just in airports - a favourite is road block in the morning to catch commuters who have over indulged the night before - in Norway you really should think about drinking if you plan to use ANY machinery for the next 48 hours...............
