Sad? -- yes
Inaccurate? -- no

There are a growing number of jobs that do drug testing when they hire 
you (including, for example, Target) and even more where you have to 
sign to agree to random drug testing if you want the job.

I hated it, but when it was a choice between feeding my kids and not, I 
signed the damned paper.  DH has had to pee in a cup for most of the 
jobs he's gotten since he got out of grad school -- and he's a PhD, so 
it isn't just the lower level jobs, either.
