@tk Why now, I once ran a website on NetBSD running on an MicroVAX server that looked, contrary to its name, like a large fridge :)

Yeah, that would account for a vandalism or antisocial behaviour. Polish police was for a period of time bumping their statistics simply by watching on CCTV who's leaving a pub and even touching their bicycle. Of course, this wouldn't happen without first legislators making it a law (which was then revoked).
On my first day after I moved to UK in 2013 the company who hired me did me a favour by renting me a car from the airport to a hotel in central Reading. The highway was fine (remember, driving on the other side for the 1st time), but then the center of Reading is rather terrible system of bus lanes, one-way streets and narrow surprise turns, so I must have triggered all these alerts a dozen of times - that was a nightmare... 😂
But then in the UK the enforcement is rather lenient - what I've been seeing in the pubs before lockdown, plenty of people drive after a few pints and they never get caught. You need to actually cause a collision or drive in totally suspicious way to get tested.
Which in my opinion is a reasonable attitude as in Eastern Europe "surprise checks" are common, yet don't really stop drunk drivers while mostly driving bribery.
Most of them are probably fully justified and reasonable, so it's a small price for US society to pay for scums like Bannon :)

I guess nobody else in the West wanted them. For a Russian vendor it's a market opportunity and they're not losing anything — they can't be boycotted in the West as they have no clients there, and neither Russian media nor gov are going to cause them any trouble as they are generally supportive towards US alt-right.
I must admit this compulsory drug testing is one of these things that make people from Europe look at the US like some "Futurama" dystopia... 😉
