schwit1 writes "Some drivers along a busy Fort Worth street on Friday were stopped at a police roadblock and directed into a parking lot, where they were asked by federal contractors for samples of their breath, saliva and even blood. It was part of a government research study aimed at determining the number of drunken or drug-impaired drivers.The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, which is spending $7.9 million on the survey over three years, said participation was '100 percent voluntary' and anonymous. The 'participants' hardly agree."

I will not willingly surrender anything but words to the government. Many feel similar. The government has done nothing but lose credibility since at least the 1950s regarding how it treats its citizens privacy and confidentiality. "Anything you say can and will be used against you"... and funny thing: Nothing you say, by law, can help you. So no. Government can suck a fart out of my curvy white arse. :/
