Hardly a stretch, since nobody actually looks really good wearing a pork pie hat...

While this test may have some benefit, the costs likelyy far outweigh the benefits of making it a routine test. Besides, the sample size for this testing is quite small given the population size. If the results were shown on 10,00o persons I might be more impressed.
