Since 1984, when urine testing of unimpaired civilian workers began to expand rapidly, its public supporters have used a common set of statements, ideas, and statistics to justify the imposition of the forced detection and testing of urine for illegal drugs. The use of this religious language is not without a purpose. Litany is seldom questioned, nor is the speaker of litany often called upon to prove the truth of his statements, even when they involve things material and not spiritual. I believe this common set of statements used by those justifying and selling urine tests is repeated, polished, and accepted with a minimal offering of proof. In this article, I will identify these statements, search for their sources, and examine their accuracy.
