Rampant cheating wouldn't be to double the number. More like times it by 10.
The law sounds pointless in any case. More soundbyte politics.

Why not multiply it by 100? A thousand? Why not declare that every person who is unemployed is also on PCP?Originally Posted by rory_20_uk
Doubling a number for a bad-case scenario seems reasonable to me. Going much beyond that would require some data to support the assertion.
And yes, the law seems to consist entirely of posturing for effect. No actual result is wanted or intended.

While a case can be made that this testing is a waste of taxpayers' money, there is nothing wrong with drug tests from a legal perspective. If Floridians want this done then who am I to tell them otherwise? I definitely do not buy the argument about this procedure somehow being discriminatory.

Apparently. I'm not so sure that this is broadly applicable in the USA... (Though it is probably true in high value industries, such as IT or applied research.)

Re: Drug Testing the Unemployed
Missing the real trick... Reducing the unemployed percentage by employing more testers.
Our genes maybe in the basement but it does not stop us chosing our point of view from the top.

Re: Drug Testing the Unemployed
If some of the unemployed are unemployed because of drug use, why not have more drug clinics and treatment facilities... so that they can work again?

Re: Drug Testing the Unemployed
Considering they send people to rehab for cannabis and weed is the number one "drug" that causes people to fail a drug test, this is a terrible idea and a waste of money.
