One wonders what other Orwellian rules will be piled on the citizenry, in
addition to the trendy "zero tolerance" policy now endured by today's
teenagers. The article, "Breath checks await some football fans," [Metro,
Oct. 16[, reporting that students attending the Dana Hills High School
football game will be subjected to Breathalyzer tests, is the zenith of
invasion of privacy and abuse of individual personal freedom.
This type of madness comes from the same mentality of the busybodies who
deprived us of helmetless motorcycle riding, buckle-free motoring, smoker's
rights and firearm ownership. What next - counting the spokes on students's
bicycles? Ourlawing onions on hamburgers? Making backpacks illegal?
