Yup, sure am a professional aviator. And I also think drink and drugs have no place in aviation. But I object to the notion that I am to be a suspected drunk or drug user until I prove otherwise. There are undoubtedly folk out there that do fly when they shouldn't, but the percentage would be very small.
I have no problem with random D&A screening. I do have a problem with fools that immediately sprout crap in a knee jerk reaction when anyone voices a concern that their rights may be impinged by a proposed reg or action, and then labels someone as a drug user or drunk because of it.
Knee jerk reactions are why we have ASIC's.......... Remember?.
