I understand him. For him it comes down to trust. No one in their right mind would see a 79 year old crossing guard as a habitual drug user. For the school bureaucrats, its important to make people go through a humiliating ritual to get their i's and t's crossed. Whatever happened the good old American presumption of innocence principle? The Drug Warriors have gone overboard in assuming every one who refuses to take a test must be high. The burden shouldn't be on the employee to prove he's clean, the burden should be on the government to prove he's breaking the law.

This bears repeating.
