Is She Drunk or Just Having a Good Hair Day? Breath Testing Gadget Can't Tell the Difference

Here's an alarming story about a breath testing gadget installed in a woman's car that indicated she was under the influence of alcohol. As you can see, her hairspray caused the gadget to read positive. Because the woman was on pretrial probation, her hairspray almost landed her in jail.

This is a disturbing story for a couple of reasons. First, a citizen was nearly jailed for something she didn't do because a "breath test" gizmo said she had consumed alcohol when she wasn't supposed to. Second, these are the types of gadgets that victims-rights groups are pushing to get installed in every vehicle manufactured in America within a few years. While this may have some political appeal, should people really be punished for trying to have a good hair day? Please read this story below:
