Working for the government means that you will be under the constant threat of drug screenings. Usually, there is also a pre-employment drug screening. I’m not sure why you weren’t given one.

While I haven’t worked for any government office, I have worked for government contractors. As such, there are strict rules that anyone working for the government or a contractor be regularly screened for drugs. Usually this meant pre-employment screening along with random screenings. It’s part of the deal with working for the gov’t.
