Are you in favor of conducting drug testing for elected public official?

With the recent news on what happened to Congressman Ronald Singson who was apprehended by Hongkong airport authorities for bringing with him prohibited drugs, it is now being pushed by some lawmakers to have a mandatory drug testing for those elected public officials. It is very ironic for Cong. Singson to pass an anti-drug resolution when he in the first place is into drugs. Maybe the passing of the bill is just a way to cover up his drug-related activities.

I feel stupid not knowing that this isn't already done. Public officials should definitely be tested for substance abuse especially because of the positions they are in.

well it would be better but i think there will be issues with privacy and such. but if there's none then this is great. But what will happen if someone is positive? i think nothing will happen unless it can be a ground for his ousting/impeachment.
