Summary:

Evaluates constitutionality of laws requiring "suspicionless" drug tests to receive governmental benefits. Provides overview of the Fourth Amendment, which protects individuals from "unreasonable searches and seizures" by the Government. Reviews five Supreme Court decisions that have evaluated Government-administered drug testing programs in other contexts, and analyzes preliminary lower court opinions directly on point. Considers implications for future Federal or State legislation.
