LEBANON, Tenn., Dec. 4, 2002 (PRIMEZONE) -- To ensure public safety, drug testing has been a common practice in airlines and many other corporations. This system had been carried out with utmost efficiency, until it came after an innocent man. Is the system reliable or is it just an effort in futility? John Ritter examines the loopholes in drug testing procedures in "A Trace Element" (now available from 1stBooks Library).
Based on the author's actual experiences while working as flight attendant, "A Trace Element" chronicles the grim realities that Ritter faced after a random drug test exhibits traces of cocaine. With the whole world seemingly conniving to rob him of his future, Ritter fought the battle as he found himself on the edge of conviction. Was there an ulterior motive behind the allegations or was he guilty as charged? Ritter brings to light the flaws in the system in "A Trace Element," and how one innocent man could be suddenly deprived of his rights and self-respect with a single switch of a button.
The events that lead to Ritter being accused and the battle to clear his name make a compelling action novel. Originally, drug testing among employees was a welcome development because it eliminated the possibility that substance abuse could lead to errors and lost productivity. However, Ritter discovers that drug testing is not foolproof. Filled with drama and suspense, "A Trace Element" dares to question the authorities and calls for truth and justice.

A graduate of St. Cloud State University, he decided to join a major airline as a flight attendant in 1990 without realizing that he was to face the biggest challenge of his life.
