RANDOM URINALYSIS IS UN-AMERICAN

Concerning Howard Tolbe's letter, ("Drug test teachers randomly,"
Letters, Jan. 2), what is it that Mr. Tolbe does not understand about
the Fourth Amendment?

It states in plain English that no search shall be conducted without a
warrant showing probable cause.

Seizing someone's urine randomly in no way meets the criteria of
probable. Random urinalysis is un-American.
