Joe, not sure how old you are, but I am sure you are older than me. Therefore I am not sure why you would think all drug testing is bullshit. A) If a private company owner wants to employ only people of sound mind who are not under the influence than he should be able to. B) If the army is to have a good fighting force, they can't have everyone smoking crack and shooting heroin, therefore they drug test. C) If you are asking other citizens for free money that is stolen from them in the first place, you should be subject to drug tests. This acts as a deterent and helps restore out broken nanny state policies where everyone lives off the government.
Unemployment is totally different in that you paid into it, and it means you were recently employed.
But if there is 1 demographic that MUST be required to have a drug test, it's policymakers and any elected officials/czars etc etc. We cannot have people making nation-changing decisions that are on drugs. Congress must pee in that cup before they tell me to.
Disclaimer: When i say drugs, I am not talking about weed. That needs to be made legal before any drug testing of any kind happens because weed is not a drug anymore than alcohol or cigs. Also, like you ponted out Joe, we have conflicting state/federal laws and it would just cost a lot of uneccessary money to hash it out in court.
