This has the possibilty to open the door to more rules and more restrictions on your car or whatever. Next could be speed monitors, then gps, then a camera that watches if you pick your nose, etc. The more restrictions you have the more easily stricter ones can be impossed on you.
Why do we always have to monitor people?

Your post is valid and in fact made me re-think the whole issue. I guess it is hard sometimes to look at the "big picture" so to speak, because the whole point of such a device is to prevent drunk driving. While I certainly support the prevention of drunk driving, is this the right way to go? It makes me worrisome because many alternatives (eg. with only a small percentage of money actually going to MAAD) aren't as strong as they were presented in the past. Perhaps a harder press for AA? Getting the message out to schools more? So much can be done and I definitely agree prevention is the first step.
