chuckbrown 0 #102 June 7, 2005 QuoteQuotedrug tests are not like alcohol tests they only can show if you have imbibed in the last 30 days not if you are under the influence at the time. that's not true. drug tests can tell how much has been ingested. for instance if you drink 6 or more beers and take a breathalizer 5 minutes later, surely you will blow a .80 or more but take the same test 6 hours later and the level will drop like an anvil. on the other hand, a ua does the same thing, the concentration level will be higher if the ingestation has been more recent, rather than 2 weeks ago. time is the only thing that will cause the concentration level to drop. these tests have been refined over the years to improve accuracy and to guard the employer against a civil law suit. I don't think that's quite accurate. Most urinanalyses merely determine the presence of the substance, not the amount. I might be wrong though. In any event, impairment is not the issue with drug tests, it's use. Drug tests seek to screen out people who use illegal drugs period, irrespective of whether they're a hard core user, or take a puff at a party in a social setting. Alcohol tests, by contrast, screen people for levels of impairment. My .02 is that impairment is the issue in skydiving, not use. What somebody does on their own time and in their own home, is none of my business, as long as it doesn't impair their ability to skydive safely. And I'm not crazy about the argument that drug tests will guarantee that no one will jump impaired because you're not looking to put breathalyzers at manifest. P.S. Don't do drugs. Drugs are bad. Mmmkay. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't think that's quite accurate. Most urinanalyses merely determine the presence of the substance, not the amount. I might be wrong though. Urinalysis tests do check concentration levels but it really doesn't mean much. All it means is that extremely high levels of concentration pretty much guarantee it's not a false positive. But as you said, they can't differentiate between levels of impairment.This ad space for sale.

So you think authorities should need a warrant to enter your home against your will? Is that what you mean by "proper documentation"? In the context of what you wrote before, it sure doesn't sound like it. QuoteWhat i sensed was hostility that anybody with the thought anywhere near their mind to ask anyone to submit to a random ua is absolute BS. The point people are trying to make here is that objecting to random UA is not necessarily an indication of guilt. There are legitimate complaints against it, invasion of privacy being the biggest. QuoteWhile i don't understand it, maybe i'm not supposed to. Take the bull by the horns and give it a try. It's a privacy issue. QuoteAs far as my sky diving activities are concrened i know who the people are doing things they shouldn't and i elect to stay away from these few and far between individuals. Great argument against random UA. QuoteThanks for everybody's participation. Do I get a prize? . . =(_8^(1) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skydyvr 0 #118 June 7, 2005 QuoteThere were some people however that dont want to piss for anything because it goes against there so call principle morals or some crap like that and I was trying to make a point there also. Keep trying. Maybe you'll eventually make one. . . =(_8^(1) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If no why not?If you find yourself in a fair fight, your tactics suck! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites wmw999 2,149 #120 June 7, 2005 I went to take one when instructed. Why? Because it's part of my current job. I was sold into this job, and yes, my pissed-off-ness can be bought with a continued paycheck. I would never think less of someone who held themselves to be a little more expensive than that. Do I think it's an invasion of privacy? Yes, I do. Am I scared of what they'll find? No, I'm not.
