<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva;"><span style="font-size: small;">Yes there are some elements of self reporting, but overall, it seems to me that the intent is to find out which employees are afflicted by sleep disorders, and either cure the disorder by treatment or take the employee out of service.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>That is the only objective that can possibly match the seriousness of the problem that has been found.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva;"><span style="font-size: small;"> <o:p></o:p></span></span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva;"><span style="font-size: small;">But I do sense some equivocation in language that seems to go back and forth between volunteering and requiring.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I think the explanation is that this is maybe eight years old, and, at that time, there was not a clearly developed screening tool.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So they encouraged employees to come forward on their own volition in order to fill in the blanks on what the screening misses.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva;"><span style="font-size: small;"> <o:p></o:p></span></span></span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva;"><span style="font-size: small;">I assume that by today, they have made advances in the development of the screening tool, and continue to make advances.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Ultimately, this will be just like drug testing, except vastly more complex.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>That is why I think the ultimate solution will be the technological monitor of wakefulness, which zugmann has dubbed the “Magic Bullet.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></span></span></p>
