Prosecutors inquired why the machine had registered a "fail," which prevents the car from starting, despite the man's claims that he had not been drinking.

Hmm. This reminds me of a Mythbusters episode when they tested ways to beat the breath test thing.

It also reminds me of the episode when they tested the myth that you can be tested positive for heroin after eating a poppy seed bagel.

Which consequently reminds me of an episode when they tested ways to cure the burn from capsaicin which is in hot sauce, chili peppers, and chile peppers.

Hottest is the Bhut/Naga Jolokia at over 1,000,000 SHU :O Pure Capsaicin is sitting at 16,000,000 :D

Breads can cause a BAC to register too. In fact there are alot of common items that will trigger a breathelizer to read much higher. Maybe they should switch to a blood drop system like Diabetics use. That would make the offense much more painful for sure.
