Drug testing is expensive, and basically, a "feel good" exercise, and as such, useless. Often times, legal drugs are miss-used, but that is not tested for.
Nothing is done with people caught in most cases, and often, people are referred to drug abuse counseling rather than terminating them.
What happened to common sense? I think most of us are able to spot one who is a "user". If a person shows up for class, and is under influence of anything that impairs their ability to function should be called in, observed, and perhaps tested or terminated on the spot period.
I think people who look out for public safety should be tested, as well as people who operate heavy machinery like truckers, equipment operators etc. They pose a daily danger to innocent people, and can do serious damage, but then, who will pay for that?
