They pluck the hair, the roots are what tells the dirty little secrets. By reading the roots, they can tell what drugs have been taken the last sixty days. Some tests can go back further, even back six months, but the norm from my understanding is sixty days.

They cut it. I have never had my hair plucked.

And you know all this.....how?

How can doing something voluntarily violate your rights? You choose to take the test, therefore you choose to waive your 4th and 5th amendment rights.

That is how the aircraft industry does it here. If you apply for a job at Cessna (example) when a drug test is administered they pluck out hair to test the follicle (root). Like mentioned before, if they just test the ends of the hair, the test will be inconclusive, the drugs will fade out, per say.

Nope......BTA, I'm in tight with the boss !

There are very few jobs I would take where I would allow myself to be tested. I have worked for companies that did testing but they would never test me. Being a top producer has it's rewards. If I had a job as a pilot or something along those lines I understand the need to be tested so I would. For just some regular job though where it's none of their business I think I would prefer just giving them the bird and moving on.

When I was fleet manager of a trucking company I gave out drug screens at all new hires and monthly checks on certain drivers.

A good friend of mine drives a cement truck and gets tested all the time. I would have told them to go **** themselves a long time ago.

You wouldn't care if weren't a low-life, degenerate, substance-abusing bastard.

You probably give bong hits to babies, and GHB to farm animals.

If you drive a commercial vehicle ,It's Federal Law that new employees be screened and current employees be picked at random on a monthly basis.

Great, more legislation. Can't say I'm surprised.

All lies, I just have an inquiring mind.

Large vehicle that can do a lot of damage if wrecked into someone or something else. I'd say yeah, it's a good idea to drug test them.

You didn't specify in what manner you purchased drugs. I know a couple of DEA guys that are undercover. If you had been one of them it would have been TMI as well as tremendously stupid to say so on a board.

I did the pain thing Sunday night, I'll go for the "legal" drugs you might handle.
