My
"The Great Usenet Just-Say-No-To-Piss-Testing List" (the Piss List) has made
it to the big time.  You have probably seen this list because it is posted
monthly to this group.  It is a tabulation of companies that conduct drug,
psychological, polygraph, credit or other personal privacy invasive tests
as a condition of employment.

Recently I learned that the List had been written about in "The Privacy
Journal", a publication I'd never heard of (anyone have an address or
phone number?)  This was good.  Vastly better, however, has been
the subsequent happenings.

Today I gave a phone interview to Ms Nikki Godfrey of the Wireless Flash
Network.  WFN is a news network that supplies printed news and trivia to
over 1000 mostly rock radio stations.  We talked for about a half an
hour about privacy, civil liberties, my motivation and my interest
in drug issues (strictly civil libertarian).  She said to expect the
report to appear on the air within the next two weeks.  I expect it
to be very favorable.  One interesting question was "Are you afraid
that people will confuse your civil liberties effort with drug use
advocacy?  My reply was "Many people apparently hold the fantasy
that Clinton is a good president.  I just can't let peoples' whacko
ideas affect my work."  Laughs all around.  She said that
many stations, particularly those in larger markets, like to interview
the subjects of such reports.  I gave her my phone number.

This has the potential to be very good for those of us fighting against
the Drug War on the Constitution.  It will at least present the other
side of the government's propaganda and physical violence war against
the populace. I can hardly wait.

She gave me a list of stations in the Atlanta area who use their
service.  Those include WAPW (?), WKLS (rock), WPCH (elevator music),
WSTR (?).  Check your local stations for affiliates.

     Contact Robert Ellis Smith <00051...@mcimail.com>.  He is the
publisher of the list.  I believe his phone number is 401/274-7861.  If
your list was included in the Journal you should have recieved a
complimentary copy.  I got one when I was mentioned for my work in
comp.society.privacy.
