Drug Tests at Schools Argued at High Court

Choice excerpts:

"If there's a [drug] problem of a serious sort,
why can't they do this?" Breyer asked a lawyer
for the American Civil Liberties Union.

Because of the 4th Amendment and its ban on
"unreasonable searches and seizures" by the
government, replied the lawyer, Graham Boyd of New Haven, Conn.

The requirement of "individualized suspicion" is a figment of the past,
Breyer suggested, especially
when the police are not involved.
