I don't see how unreasonable search and seizure applies here (which is the only constitutional argument I've heard I believe) since welfare is voluntary, you have the option not to be subjected to any search by not applying for assistance. As far as not accomplishing anything, I haven't seen a cost-benefit analysis as to how much it could potentially save taxpayers by eliminating drug users from receiving welfare. I would absolutely agree that if it costs more to implement and maintain than it saves then it is a pretty pointless idea.
