Thus, if you're not too buzzed you just have to do the walk the line tests, etc
There's a good option!

EDIT:
I just got a flash: borrow a nebulizer (right word?--inhaler?) from an asthmatic friend, keep it with you. When pulled-over, suck on it a few times, them hold it up and say you're having an asthma attack...they will either not attempt a B/A or the spray will give falsies....

Steve; if the alcohol-tainted air is being "blown out" over the charcoal; why wouldn't it then absorb some? This makes no sense...If you would care to explain why in "theory" this wouldn't work?

Of course, a lot is theory. What a cop Can vs, what many Will do is far different.....
