277. Re-read my post:
Try responding to what I actually wrote: And employer can make a condition of employment that their employees (prospective or current) not engage in ILLEGAL activities.

All your examples are of legal activities and of COURSE those things would be illegal for an employer to control or prohibit as a condition of employment.

And just to repeat a point that was made by another: the drug testing by an employer is only via consent. Don't want to consent? Don't. Taking a principled stand is not without consequence either. Just ask folks who spend time in jail expressing themselves in civil disobedience actions. If they can accept that that jail is a possible outcome of their principled actions - why shouldn't those who can't or won't be tested, accept that there are consequences for their principles?
