One 25-cent balloon is all one will need to defeat their thousand-dollar device. Another brilliant government solution...

A small SCUBA tank (pony bottle)filled with filtered compressed air coupled with the right valving
should be able to easily defeat this device...
If one deviant person would wish to do so that is...
Of which..naturally I am not...so dont quote me on this

That would be alot of fun if you've got to get to the Emergency Room in a hurry. And what happens if the system malfunctions? Who will pay for the damages if a false reading occurs? Hmm. Sounds like there could be a job opening for John Edwards after his Senate term expires.

They ought to test this on legislators and staff first.

[MamaTexan]

It's official.

The inmates are running the asylum.

This is an unfair tax against those Americans who do not consume alcohol.

[rellimpank]

----gee whiz---a mandatory unisex chastity belt installed at the onset of puberty would solve a lot of social problems, too--wonder if they'll think of that next---

[Muleteam1]

Maybe someone should suggest that we New Mexicans be tested for alcohol at the polls?

Wait untill the California legislature hears this, and you just know Bloomberg will love it.

[ApplegateRanch]

As usual, the criminals & scoflaws will ignore it, hoping not to be caught, same as they drive unlicensed & uninsured. How many of the 'target group' are repaeat offenders, 'driving while suspended'? Problem is, the judges have forgotten how to "suspend" them properly, instead of shaking a finger & tsk-tsking at them.

NM ping

This is not going to go anywhere in the next 15 hours, which is all the legislature has before they are required to adjourn under state law. I called my state senator this morning and the secretary said the volume of calls against this silly scheme had been steady all morning. It will be buried in committee and die at noon tomorrow unless Bill Richardson calls a special session and adds it to his list. I don't think even he is so stupid as to make NM anymore of a laughing stock than it already is.
