The DOT drug testing approach was fatally flawed 20 years ago and remains so today. 1. All specimen collections must be observed. 2. Cut-off levels for Opiates are too high to detect abusers 3. Testing must include oxycodone, hydrocodone (currently does not.) 4. Urinalysis dectect historical vs. current use. Just to list a few issues.
