<<Not one known event has ever occurred to show drug testing has saved one life or prevented one accident.>>

That may be a true statement but it doesn't have much meaning. It's like trying to prove a negative statement. I'm sure that if the government kept Hunter S. Thompson from piloting a B-747 full of tourists, that many lives were saved; but since they didn't die, how can one say it was prevented.

I understand what you are saying, but my basic point was that there was no crisis or set of incidents which brought on drug testing. it was basically done because drug tests became available, almost as if it were a welfare program for drug testing companies.
