Interesting! I wonder if the color of our hair will be used to determine our fitness to still drive large vehicles?

Of all the things that could be done to ensure road/highway safety, this is laughable......a waste of time, money and resources.....unless of course
one of the doctors is a Proctologist.

I wonder what they're really hunting for? Some sort of bio threat? Or just boosting arrest stats.
