In a unanimous opinion the 9th . Circuit court of appeals held that an employees constitutional rights under fourth amendment protections against unlawful search do not apply in the Navy s Effort to test engineering employees As Long As the workers Are required to hold top secret Security clearances. The decision applies to Navy employees with top secret Access Tsa a the highest of the three most commonly issued Security clearance categories. The decision made no reference to other classifications such As confidential or secret and its Impact on those categories is unclear. The Case stems from a 1989 decision by the Navy that All civilian employees holding Tsa Security clearances submit to random drug testing. The International federation of professional and technical engineers in Silver Spring md., challenged the Rule with five other unions in District court in Washington which held in favor of the Navy that the tests were needed because the employees were Likely to gain Access to sensitive information. The engineers appealed to the 9th circuit in june on the grounds that its members had done nothing to arouse suspicion and were in fact Loyal employees who were entitled to Protection from what amounted to unlawful search under the fourth amendment. Tuesday s decision upheld the District court s summary judgment in favor of the Navy. Julia l. Aikins attorney for the International federation of professional and technical engineers said tuesday that the Union was a very disappointed in the decision which she said could affect All civilian Navy department employees with Security clearances. A this the decision could greatly affect the likelihood of random drug testing for virtually All of the 300.000 civilian Navy department employees with Security clearance she said. In its ruling the court rejected the Union s argument that the Navy failed to provide adequate justification for subjecting its members who hold Tsa clearances to random drug tests because those members were never actually allowed to see or handle top secret information. I the court held that the Navy defined the term Quot Access broadly to encompass not Only those situations where an employee actually handles classified information. But also to an employee who is in a place where such information is kept. Aikens said attorneys were still reviewing the ruling and had not yet decided whether to Appeal.
