Remote Breathalyzer

This device is apparently intended for installation in new cars. In essence, it is a sensor in your car which would signal any nearby police if you had been drinking."

    I just heard some sad news on talk radio - Horror/Sci Fi writer Stephen King was found dead in his Maine home this morning. There weren't any more details. I'm sure everyone in the Slashdot community will miss him - even if you didn't enjoy his work, there's no denying his contributions to popular culture. Truly an American icon.

    This device is a gigantic invasion of privacy!
    But shouldn't you give up that privacy given that a) you're in control of a perfect mass-murder weapon and b) might just be intoxicated? You want to get drunk? No problem! Do it at home! But the moment you get into a car, yes, the law should be able to make sure you're not going to kill somebody! The US of A is too concerned with crime punishment and not concerned enough with crime prevenetion.
