I am opposed to DHS (TSA, mostly). How can I be in favor of gun control?

20. I'm pretty fiercely against either invasion but the urine being substituted, diluted, or artificial

is effectively less intrusive because it isn't my urine. Plus, the non-universal aspect with the ability to refuse is a big seller. If I refuse the drug test, I go on about my job search but if I refuse my home inspection we're talking jail, confiscation of my property, fines, and/or maybe end up beaten or even at risk of life.

I'll grant some similarities but will scoff at you for trying to even pretend they are anything like the same. I also suspect you understand both are pretty well fucked up and should discourage the whole line of reasoning.

Of course there is no significant movement against work place drug test, there are no significant movements to secure higher wages, job security, increase family leave, or for more vacation time.

We are in an anti-labor, "lucky to have a job...any job" era and more than half the country believes in job creator myths, the invisible hand, and that labor is subject to the absolute master of capital. Many, maybe most see a job as indentured servitude on a at will basis.

You also have a multi-decade war on drugs as a backdrop that distorts everything it touches. To some minds peeing in little cups for no plausible reason is like patriotic (as I imagine you might feel saluting with flag waving while your house is searched for contraband weapons, doing your part to make America safe) duty.

There is also the sticky part about the ramifications. An employer isn't going to be locking you up for non-compliance or failing. Government policy is a driver of the drug tests (policy I'm all about changing rather than trying to use it as an apples to tuna casserole precedent) but it isn't mandated (yes, you can find jobs that do not test) and any problem is between you and that employer. You can go home, you can go out of state, you are not going to be incarcerated, there is no fine, in fact you might get another job that pays more the same day.
