In the 1980s, my father managed the engineering department for a MNC... He had to have “a converstation” with one of the H-1 visa engineers from the middle east or India about bathing.
These days it would be a lawsuit.

I’m not sure this passes the smell test, Steelfish.
There is a lingering odor: pungent, like stepping in something awful on a hot summer day.
Tangy, like a seven chili curry and extra garlic; musky, like an old male goat.

Leaders of the United Taxi Workers of San Diego union say the litmus perpetuates a stereotype that predominantly foreign-born taxi drivers smell bad.
Yeah, right - these slobs were probably making everyone sick in their home countries too. Break down and take a shower every morning, guys. And the inspectors who have to take a whiff of every cabbie in the city deserve combat pay.

I could see either one being the offending party. Suspect the Wookie is not especially fresh smelling, nor of course is the denizen of bathhouses after a night of Reggie and ciggarettes.

Airport authority spokeswoman Rebecca Bloomfield said there is no standard process to testing. LOL, then it ain't a legal test, Becky.

Being a resident of San Diego for over 4 1/2 years now, I've found the best solution for me is if the cabbie and his cab are foul smelling, I will simply tell him to stop, and I will get out of his cab and flag down the next in line until I get a non offensive smelling cab. It has happened to me several times and every time I was asked “what is wrong”, I explain my disgust with a blunt statement and move on.
It works for me, and I hope the situation will eventually improve with this “regulation”, but I doubt much will change, and I will continue my personal “discriminatory” behavior as I see fit.

Dear cabbies: If your fares’ faces are melting like Major Toht’s at the end of “Raiders Of The Lost Ark”, maybe it’s time for you to hit the showers.

Folks, this is a matter of public health.
Customers should not be subjected to filthy cab drivers, any more than restaurant goers should be subjected to unsanitary conditions. Disease & pestilence is not limited to food service.
