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.

I too agree...although not to the extremes as Looger, the point has been made & I can totally see & agree with it, to an extent. The only problem being that prevention can only do so much. For me, I've been bombarded with the drunk driving message in school, the media, at home, etc. There are idiots all over the place who won't play by the rules...installation in every car is likely overboard, and putting it in the cars of only those who have a DUI is reactionary to the point where it doesn't really do anyone any good given what may have happened when the DUI occured. Not sure where the happy medium would be to satisfy those that want safer roads and those concerned with where this technology may lead.
