Default UK workers could be spitting chips...

I understood drug, alcohol, and DNA but wasn't aware that stress levels could be detected from your spit. The privacy questions are going to be significant if this sort of testing is to become commonplace.

Sorry boss. I'm too stressed out to spit.

What inane idea can they come up with next to make the working man's plight more miserable?

Anything to make a buck I suppose.
