Advocates say the technology under development would be “less intrusive.” Instead of making the driver blow into a little tube like they make you do at those roadside “sobriety checkpoints,” a system of passive alcohol sensors would be fitted to the car that could take a Blood Alcohol Content (BAC) reading via a person’s skin — as when your hand touches the shifter or steering wheel. This “quiet” approach is supposed to make us feel better about being pre-convicted and treated like known and duly processed irresponsible drunks every single time we get behind the wheel of a car. Uh....

Your car won't start if you try to defeat the protection device.

I rarely drink, and I never drink and drive. That said, there is nothing toyota or GM can put on a car that I cannot bypass.
screw the nanny.

Nanny State Ping.
Other than the one line about this not being about nannyism, I am in agreement with the author.

Driver Alcohol Detection System for Safety— is this the same company owned by the “tag team” of Kennedy/Reid/Pelosi? (OK, I made that last part up.. sort of..)

A reality check on DUI claims: Groups purposely misstate fatalities to further an anti-drinking agenda Why am I not surprised?
Liberals have taught us that agendas always trump facts.

This reminds me of an old bit from “Weekend Update” on SNL about ten years ago. Colin Quinn (sp?) was talking about these devices being researched. The punch-line was if you failed the breathalizer the car would drive you to your old-girlfriend’s place. Never thought I’d see the day when these things are real though.

Good article, and right on the money.
Don’t forget, MADD’s been taken over by RWJF.
