I work for a company that writes educational software for young children. I build, operate, and maintain database servers and Web servers. There is no conceivable screwup I could make on the job that would endanger anyone else's life or health. I never drink or use other drugs on the job BTW, because I'm a responsible person. I don't drive while loaded and I respect my employer's interest in having me 100% operational when I'm on the clock.

Random drug screening would serve only to put me at risk of getting in trouble for stuff I did OFF THE JOB. If my employer attempted to implement random drug screening it would cause a mass mutiny, much like almost happened when a new VP wanted to make male programmers wear neckties.
