Should the Whizzinator be illegal?

Not familiar with the Whizzinator? As the AP says, it is "a male prosthetic to a container holding dehydrated urine warmed to body temperate with heat packs." And it's used to beat drug tests. A Missouri legislator is recommending a law to make it a misdemeanor to possess the Whizzinator and similar devices. It'd be a felony if you actually tried to "forge" urine and other bodily fluids.

The legislator says a ban is OK because there's no other legitimate, legal use for such devices. Anyone care to disagree?

Maybe if politicians were subject to random drug testing, they wouldnt be so quick to outlaw the Whizzinator!

Come on Guys! Help me think of a legitimate use for a dehydrated urine prosthetic...
I love to argue but I'm stuck.
think. think. think.

Isnt the act of cheating on a drug test, already illegal? If so..this is just another waste of time.

JB..what about people who have a fetish? Are they outlawing the do it yourself kit and thus discriminating against this sexual preference?

What should be outlawed is wholesale drug testing. Frankly it is one of the most un-American things I've ever heard. When did somebody get the idea that anyone is EVER required to give blood/P in a bottle or whatever type of testing you can think of?

What is really f'd up is this: Joe Blow working at Nebraska Furniture has to be UA'd, but not your doctor, your lawyer, your city, state or federal prosecutors. The doesn't even make sense.

Please don't use the arguement that if you have nothing to hide, etc.....it doesn't work. We brag that we have more freedom in the USA than any other country, but that is BS. Drug testing, random DUI checkpoints, child seat laws, seat belt laws, helmet laws,.....at what point did it become ok to invade our personal lives.

If a person has a drug problem, just like an alcohol problem, it will be obvious.

I am not going to throw out a percentage that I am not sure of, but check out the stats for politicians now in office who have felony convictions. And these are the same hypocrites that make up these laws. Of course they are rich and their kids don't work at Nebraske Furniture and when their kids do get caught they never, ever go to jail.

It is so work comp has a reason to not pay claims. It isn't the safety harness that the company refused to get fixed that got your arm cut off...no,it was the joint you smoked 3 days ago.

OK, some of you need a big fat doobie to toke on....

LOL

sell it as a gag and they won't be able to do much.

It's all about insurance companies getting laws enforced so they don't have to pay out from the $$$$Billions they make....

Searching is right about the reason why many companies test.

Davey Smith -

In almost every jurisdiction it is illegal for someone with a felony conviction to hold public office.

Is there a way we can make it hold dehydrated beer so we can sneak it into sporting events?

Only if you know it will pass the pat down test.


Really, just when you think the great minds in our Legislature might have run out of new things to grandstand about....


Unfortunately drug testing legislators & prosecutors would do no good, unless you can test for an overdose of ego.

Drug testing -- like DUI roadblocks -- are actually admissions that the behavior is too harshly criminalized to begin with. If you need either to catch a person. they obviously are NOT impaired.

We have gone fron a nation of laws to a nation of crimes -- and there is a difference.

Rizzo, the decanting process might be a bit attention grabbing.

I am so discouraged by our laws and courts. Where has the common sense gone? I thought the point was to protect us from criminals, not criminalize the actions of every day Americans as a way to raise funds.

Yeah, because fraud and cheating are generally worthless concepts to combat. Outlawing a device that facilitates and encourages such would just be absurd. Thanks for the wisdom, dum-dums.
