I am a legal researcher, to be sure, but not in the classic sense. I have spent years studying a few subjects that impact, pretty seriously, many people everyday. Most lawyers I have spoken to are not well versed in the details of federally mandated drug testing. All truck drivers, airline pilots and flight attendants and so on, must submit to testing. The CFRs spell out very clearly the procedures for these types of tests and commercial enterprize perform the testing. These regulations (CFR) define the rights of participants and explain the proceedures to implement them. The Supreme Court has permitted such testing, however, certain protocol must be followed. For example, the "random selection" of employees must be scientifically verifiable. "Choosing" instead of "random selecting" is forbidden. If people believe they've been selected and want to challenge the "science" of the selection method, I can't find information anywhere that informs how to do this. Trying to get answers from the D.O.T., I found nothing useful. One testing giant sent me a generic one page form, but it did not verify the science. They were offended when I told them about this. Does anyone share my interest in examining whether the Constitutional provisions are protecting millions?
