The U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the drug testing was justified by the need for national security and by the extraordinary safety hazards attendant to the positions involved. The Court held that the privacy interests of the Customs Service employees were outweighed by the government's interest in ensuring the integrity and reliability of its workforce in these sensitive positions. Therefore, option C is the best choice.
