I have a potential job starting next month. I've quit smoking already but I've been a daily smoker for years and may not have time to clear my system even if I abstain completely. The job is with a government contractor that works for the Department of Homeland Security. I've got Quick Fix on hand in case of pre-employment testing, but this being a government contractor I'm not sure I'll be able to use the substitution method. I know that monitoring (someone watching urine come out of your penis) normally only happens in cases of active military, probation, parole, and drug/DUI court. My question is, can government contractors that require you to have secret security clearance also monitor drug tests or will substitution work?

I expect a pre-employment test and randoms, but as long as no one's watching, Quick Fix should do the job. However, I personally know someone who worked at a drug lab and caught an offender using the Whizzinator so I don't trust it. If I want this, abstinence may be my only option and since I've been "underemployed" for years now, I really want this job! Any help or advice is greatly appreciated.
