Nightshade,

Sorry I didnt realize they changed stories so often or I would have just cut and paste.

The article spoke about a strip of paper that was designed to detect small amounts of several types of drugs that eliminate thru the pores on your face, hands, feet, legs, etc. Apparently these strips can detect the use of drugs just by swipeing it across items like a phone handset,keyboard, chair arm, the handel on a urinal, etc.

The article spoke about how cheep the strips were compared to a Best if kept off the board or blood test, and had a account of a auto dealer who susupected a employee of cocaine use. The Boss of said auto deealer, swiped an item the salesman had been using and found it posititve for narcotics. This same company now has a policy to test this man once a week by simply swipeing his forehead.

Another company was going in "after hours" and swipeing alot of items, desks, keyboards, to get a "peek" into certain employee habits.

This new tool gives companys a big advantage on detecting and eliminateing drug use among its team of workers. Its not like a urin test that can be manipulated or in many cases be completely fooled by urin flush tools, or items like synthetic urin.

I dont remember the company that makes the strips, but I believe they are out of Chicago Il, anyone can order the strips or have this company come in and test items in the office.
