#1 2 words come to mind. The second is "You!"

The progressive puritans are at it again

#2 The federal agency issued a challenge on Monday for individuals and businesses to invent a "wearable alcohol biosensor"

Perhaps it could be mounted to their cellie, or be incorporated as an I-pod sniffer which immediately broadcasts a signal. The steering wheel braced I-pot, or dash mounted cellie [where I see a great many being used] could send a signal to an electric squib which ignites an explosive charge [think claymore mine] killing or disabling the driver/operator instantly. A remote 'command detonator' could be sold separately.

My personal interest lies in the remote command detonator and the 5 county sales district which I intend to apply for.

#3 How about a THC sensor for all the PotHeads in the Democratic Party Machine?

#5 How about bullshit detectors for anyone running for, or holding office - either elected or appointed?

I think it would be a good thing - They wouldn't be able to do anything because of the constant beep-beep-beep.

#6 "The government envisions a device that can be worn by Americans "in the course of their daily lives."

#7 You know they're gonna build a backdoor into it so the NSA can have access to all this real time information. They wanna know all about what we're doing but they won't say jack squat about what they're doing. Orwell would have been proud.

#8 Have all politicians wear such devices for a decade and I'll consider it. Otherwise I agree with the second word You comment.

If the REpublicans can't use this to show out of control government they are idiots (but I repeat myself).

#9 the 'SCRAM' Ankle Bracelets for 'home-bound' incarceration check real-time blood alcohol levels 24/7.

They only 'upload' the results once or twice a day, though.

#10 The National Institutes of Health (NIH) is offering up to $300,000 for the creation of bracelets that can track how much Americans drink.

Cause the degreed aholes can't figure it out by beverage sales. Duh. You know the 'revenuers' are particularly interested in that as well. In fact have been tracking production and distribution for many years. Just give them a call for the data.
