What do they do, make you take a urine test to see if you’re topped up? That’s lunacy.

They already got tech for mood and things like vitals based off camera feed and AI pattern recognition. This tech is still rather in its infancy but something that is possible already.

Also, how accurate does that shit need to be? It is a W if price goes up for valid or not reason ;)

That's the beauty of price gouging, you win everytime you get to it!
