the next time you take a drug test for employment go see if you're ok with a 4% chance of losing that job.
And then consider how mild that is compared to being arrested, where you'll often lose your job on top of everything else.
- Closi 3y agoWell drug testing for employment usually will be similar to a field test in the first stage, but at failure will then get sent to a lab for proper analysis (at least in my experience). Laboratory analysis should (obviously) be required for all non-negative results.
- PH95VuimJjqBqy 3y agoshould, but isn't. what happens instead is they'll collect enough urine for multiple samples, but that's not the point. The point is that the false positive rate is far below 4% and even they take precautions and the negative outcome of a false positive on a drug test is _far_ less catastrophic than getting arrested. The real point here is that 4% is unacceptable and the only reason you, and others, would ever think it's acceptable is because you don't imagine yourself at risk.
