The constitutional issue is a separate matter. I personally don't see this as some sort of slippery slope. Driving isn't a right it is only a privilege. Alcohol limits your ability to drive safely, so I think screening is appropriate. I don't see this moving to illegal searches as that is a separate issue that isn't really linked to your ability to operate a vehicle. That would be more of an issue of searching private property. Just my opinion.

Just for clarity sake, are you saying a bodily search is ok (that's what a breath sample is), but a property search (popping he trunk and going through your glove box) is not?
