Sage advice: Don't think about experimenting. Just walk away if presented with the stuff.
That begs the question - what does one do when everyone else around them is using a drug that, while maybe negligibly harmful, gives them the upper hand at doing your job? Do you relegate yourself to taking out the trash for the drug-enhanced super-performers, or do you bend to the pressure?
It's an interesting topic, to be sure. I am of the same opinion that I am not about to try some random drug, but I am not so sure that I would be able to resist the temptation of a "Limitless" type substance.
I, personally, have been insulted by counteroffers. I've been offered more money to stay in a current position than to take another position in a different department within the same company - multiple times. I think I would feel the same way even if moving to another company.
A counteroffer is your current employer's way of saying "We've been willing to underpay you for quite some time now, but now that you're considering leaving, we'll pay you more".
This isn't based on merit, or performance, or how shiny your shoes are. It's based on the fact that you've been knowingly paid less than you're worth, and now they're being called on it.
You're right - pointing out the fiscal impact of supporting these things will only lead to positive change. It couldn't possibly point out that the municipalities funding these operations need to bring in more revenue in the form of higher transit rates, local taxes, federal funding, etc.
I think the only way to bring about change for things like this is to actively point out the fact that everyday people being searched every day going about their normal lives is completely unnecessary and provides very little disincentive for people who actually mean to do harm.
Let's not give detractors too much credit. "As it stands", as quoted by Rackspace's CEO, implies that a simple revision of the legislation would make it okay.

That sucks.
