First they take your liberties in a thousand little ways. Then they take the rest all at once.
Are you fugging kidding me with this? Half the fun of happy hour is the drive home.

Its an outrage. And once again we give up our liberties to gain a little short term false security. Read Franklins quote again. ponder it for a while.

OK. So you are against any airport security whatsoever? Metal detectors and x-rays for your luggage? Don't they assume just as much guilt as a breathalyzer attached to your car? Either way you have to prove you aren't breaking the law to get where you're going.

This idea would probably work would it not be for the fact that most (if not all) of our prisons are at max capacity and most major cities are having to suspend prison sentences for even some violent offenders as is. That being said, I would rather the government spend more money on expanding prisons (to be able to implement stiffer sentences on dui offenders) then I would on some initiative to implement interlock devices on all vehicles.

Laws aren't very effective in crime prevention nor are they very effective deterrents from keeping people that want to break the law from breaking it. Every dumbass in jail broke a law that was on the books and probably 98% did it knowingly. This law would be pretty easy to get around for a few reasons.

1). It would never be passed. The ACLU will fight tooth-and-nail for your right to party and keep the decision in your hands. Over the course of human history we as people make the wrong decision 95% of the time. A perfect example is allowing an organization like the ACLU to be as prominent as they are.

2). The cost of a deterrent is always part of the decision as to whether or not it will be deployed. Automakers and those that would need to take the lead on this don't have the stomach to do it and the almighty profit-margin would speak up.

3). Hey kid..........

No. I wouldn't mind cars being equipped with breathalyzers, though. I do believe most people would use them to determine if they needed to wait a bit before driving home.

I'm finding them as cheap as $20. My guess is that virtually every one of the very few people who care already has one.

Yeah, I understand that most people wouldn't go out looking to buy one. But if one was built into their car, they probably would use them on proper occasion.

It couldn't work like current ignition inhibiting systems. After a couple failed tries, it makes it impossible to start for an hour or something. Sometimes mouthwash alone can set them off, too.

I don't want it to interfere with the operation of the car. Not talking about a restriction of any kind.
