What he said.

The fundamental issue is that you have no "right" to fly. The framers didn't include that (for obvious reasons).

So you're being granted a privilege by the government, and they'll administer that as they see fit (limited only congressional interventions such as PBR).

If they kept you from your profession, you might have the makings of a successful lawsuit but you'd probably have to prove malice or at the very least intentional indifference. You're not going to win unless they knew or should have known that you were clean. If they have reason to doubt that, they're allowed to take their sweet bureaucratic time sorting it out.
