The United States Supreme Court ruled that nothing in the Constitution prohibits the drug policy. "We think Customs employees who are directly involved in the interdiction of illegal drugs or who are required to carry firearms...have a diminished expectation of privacy in respect to the intrusions occasioned by a urine test. Unlike most private citizens or government employees in general, employees involved in drug interdiction reasonably should expect effective inquiry into their fitness and probity...While reasonable tests designed to elicit this information doubtless infringe some privacy expectations, we do not believe these expectations outweigh the Government's compelling interests in safety and in the integrity of our borders."
