Did you READ the report. It was 7% not 76% percent 124 out of 1683. The
rate varied by year from 4% to 9%. Now I would argue that 1% is still
too high, but I know perfection isn't going to ever happen.

You can argue that .00001% is still too high. But, no matter what you
argue, guys like gig will still waste time with inflammatory rhetoric.
Watch. This will get us no closer to answering the original questions.
The mere mention of drugs or alcohol brings out the government as nanny
zealots toute de suite. The results are predictable. Same problems. No
answers save more regulations and enforcement. Are people who go through
rehab a greater risk or not? Simple question, eh?


Inflammatory rhetoric? Your the guy who thinks that people with a KNOWN drug
or alcohol problem shouldn't have to wait a certain amount of time after
treatment before they get thier flight privlages back. Jeez.

The report I listed was just to counter your proposal that the FAA didn't
even study the issue.
