I can't speak authoritatively on this but I have more years of lab experience than I will admit to. ->This is just my opinion<-, The Genetic testing you are referring to is expensive and takes a highly qualified individual to perform the test so I highly doubt anyone does this unless you a government hire in a sensitive position. So, do they want to throw a parole back in jail? No. They more likely wish to deter you from going back to your old ways. Again, I have no facts to back this up other than my experience in the lab, cost for testing,etc. My guess is if they really do any testing at all it's the quick check (known as a "waived test" by CLIA) that anyone off the street can perform and that's expensive enough. Most employers use this. I'm job searching and I've only seen a few where they warn that hair folicle and urine by Mass spec will be performed to enable procuring a govt secret clearance. Does this make sense?
