Florida Independent: Scott signs latest random drug testing of state employees bill by Ashley Lopez:

The district court considered the issue to be a simple matter of time and space. It concluded that the search of property seized at an international border and moved 170 miles from that border for further search cannot be justified by the border search doctrine. We disagree.
