The FAA has found that about
0.06 percent of pilots and air traffic controllers have a confirmed

positive
drug test, which works out to a cost of about $45,000 per positive result.
However, the programs are likely to continue because of public worries

about
safety. "


The off-net conversation I had went in this direction as well. The
secondary concern, beyond safety, is perception of safety by passengers.
Ultimately, the next question has been: Is it worth it to General Aviation
to test for drugs simply to ease the fear of the public?
