I think the ACLU should get on this a little bit harder. If the 4th ammendment protects people against unreasonable search and seizure by th government, but private employers are exempt from this ammendment, then it’s againa violation of this ammendment when the government involves itself by making it illegal to cheat on such tests.

Drug testing for safety is one thing- I think most reasonable people understand that airline pilots, truck-drivers, and others in risk-of-life occupations need to give up the bong for the sake of their jobs.

On the other hand, making liars and cheats out of millions of clerks, salespeople, factory floor workers, etc. does nothing for safety, but does a lot to harm our social fabric.

There is use, and there is abuse, of almost anything that people do. Drug and Alchohol abuse in the workplace is a serious problem. Drug and Alcohol use outside of the workplace should not be.

Drug testing for social control (and much of the drug law complex) is morally wrong in my opinion, and not in keeping with what the Founders intended.
