I'll just set up a little bottle of compressed air to automatically deliver the puff whenever it wants one.
did somebody call for an alcoholic?

I thought it was immobile. Like, a tube that was actually in your dash, in the radio area...or on the steering column or something. I didn't realize it was corded (like the one I just looked up, I'm assuming thats what they are?).
I thought you had to bend to it, didn't realize you could bring it up to your mouth.

the version i saw was on a cord that retracted. it required you to blow for a certain amount of time at a certain pressure while humming to validate it wasn't coming out of a ballon or something.
alcholics think ahead about breaking the law.......

Very interesting. I am sure even that can be beaten, but I learned two new things in that it is corded/mobile and that (some at least) they require humming to make sure you aren't cheating it.

like i said, that was the version i saw. I think the biggest problem with this being incoperated into fleets of autos is that they will need to be serviced and calibrated regularly. I dont know who is oging to pay for that, but most of us would figure out how to circumvent the entire system if it means another monthly fee

I had to drive somebodies car with one. You also have to blow every few minutes at random intervals or the car shuts down

Basically what you're telling me is....alcoholics can't drive standard transmission.

if you already have a plan on how you are going to continue to DRINK AND DRIVE if a breathalyzer is ever installed in your car
you might be an alcoholic

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.
