Can I use this device as a screening mechanism for my next girlfriend?

They are even looking beyond Interlock devices now, and at alcohol skin sensors placed in the steering.Skin Alcohol Sensor Invented - Medgadget - www.medgadget.com

Remember that folks. If you don't plan to roll over for the nanny state, you must be an alcoholic!

yeah, thats one way to spin it....

so people who have these things now, but use compressed air to continue to drive drunk, what would you call them?

Big difference there. They have them because of their problems with drinking and driving. I (and everyone else) would have them because it is a law of the nanny state. They would bypass so that they can continue bad behavior. I would bypass because I'm not a criminal and don't appreciate being treated like one. I would do it as rebellion.

so you would drive drunk to be rebellious? i dont see the difference.

the only reason anyone would have to bypass the devices would be so they can drive while under the influence.

To be planning to bypass it now, beofre it is even a factor, indicates an unhealthy attachment to alcohol. If you can't even imagine not being able to drive when you have been drinking, you might have a serious problem.

They have to be calibrated monthly...another great way for them to make money once these things are installed.
