yah... busting into their records would be... HPPA and all that (which I 
support).

Your version (distance scrutiny of public behaviour/sigInt) would not be 
(on the surface anyway).   Like Jack Sweeney's Billionaire-Jet-Tracking 
efforts.  Sometimes this kind of work

verges on (performance?) Art...

I personally would not want to see *anyone* busted for their chemical 
(or other technological) augmentation in any harsh way, but I would not 
mind seeing it included in a low-level pressure campaign to shift the 
average elected office encumbent age downward.   I'm happy if Bernie 
Sanders was juicing a little for the last Senate all-nighter 
(tactically) but not so happy that such things may have become standard 
practice (like steroids Mr. Universe and WWF but not in Olympic Weight 
LIfting and Chess-Boxing).  JFK, FDR and who knows how many (other) 
TLA-presidents had their own personal physician juicing them for things 
the public was unaware of...   performance enhancing or remedial, what 
is the line?
