I would of thought something like this would have been in a long time ago actually....

Like others i wonder how this will be conducted.

Will it take into consideration the described drugs in the theory book. Antibiotics Analgesics, Antihistamines, Amphetamines(cold &flu) or will it be more like a road test for the main used indulgence drugs.

Also i would like to raise how this will be done as to not flying, pre and post flight? Can someone be Airside and not flying but have medication in them? i know its mainly common sense but i am sure these points may be argued if people are screened >: "yeah i have booze or cold and flu medication in my system but i wasn't going to fly anywhere etc etc". In this case it may take actual company's to get involved.

Its not like there going to have road/airblocks or pull up random planes in the air to catch people in the act. Also post flight you would have thought is chasing the problem after the fact?
