Actually not, at least not the private sector that I'm familiar with.  The
rules on random drug testing and the results are pretty standard.

I agree with Ted.  This guy took a risk toking in public, and he lost.
Regardless of *east coast/west coast/middle america* standards.  You can
lament on and on about 'west coast standards', but the bottom line is, the
guy KNEW the rules of the game he was playing.  He broke 'em and he got
caught.  Obviously some 'west coast' cops give citations for pot smoking
in
public, evidenced by this story.
