The quote is from the linked article. I am sure that alcohol based hand sanitizers would never effect a fingertip sensor.


"Although the exact type of alcohol monitor the bill would require is unclear, passive alcohol sensors are described in a report by Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD). The group recommends "driver monitoring systems, touch-based systems that can read your blood alcohol concentration through your fingertips"


The saddest part is how many people will cheer it as "for the common good."

Its all much ado about nothing
NOTHING
"unclear"
"recommends"
These words clearly show the headline "would require" is a total lie

Just scare tactics Trmpers use accusing the USA of being a communist nation simply because we went with a different Capitalist President

Scary
Any child molester on the right, Trumpers give a pass
Its really absurd, stupid and dumb to assume all child molesters are on the left
But then Trumpers are stupid, and dumb

I am looking forward to self driving cars for just that reason.

Better it spending three nights impounded as opposed to me.
