The TSA comment was for Dave01. It was in reference to my use of a DOT ID at an airport. The TSA agent told me they did not know what DOT was so I could not use the ID. I used my YMCA card, got in the airport and asked for the TSA station manager...he was not amused, but he did correct the situation.Target1911 wrote:You got the DOT part of it right but I dont work for TSA.

Re: How would you handle it??????????
You must work for TSA... I get this question at the airport when I show ID. DOT is Department of Transportation (http://www.dot.gov" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;)Dave01 wrote:I am not familiar with the DOT drug test (what does DOT stand for?). ....
49 CFR 40 is the drug test standard:
The Omnibus Transportation Employee Testing Act of 1991 requires drug and alcohol testing of safety-sensitive transportation employees in aviation, trucking, railroads, mass transit, pipelines and other transportation industries. DOT publishes rules on who must conduct drug and alcohol tests, how to conduct those tests and what procedures to use when testing. These regulations cover all transportation employers, safety-sensitive transportation employees and service agents -roughly 12.1 million people. Encompassed in 49 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 40, the Office of Drug & Alcohol Policy & Compliance (ODAPC) publishes, implements and provides authoritative interpretations of these rules.

However, no one has been informed that I carry......and I have yet to be informed in any way that I can not carry but I don't want them to know. The testing place is not at work and I will be going on my own time.
Doctor patient privilege applies for all but the drug test results. You may want to leave your weapon in the car (or lock it to the handlebars of your motorcycle) when you go in for the testing though.
