I'll have to disagree with you, Richard. I do not think this is implied/presumed guilt any more so than a drug screen prior to employment. Perhaps a discussion on the appropriateness of drug screening programs for anyone other than convicted drug offenders is in order.
I was quite shocked to find out the current hospital at which I work did not perform drug screening prior to employment. Of course, it is in the city that holds the annual "Hash Bash"...
