But 0.08 isn't "sloshed" -- I ride a motorcycle, and don't drink at
all when I'm going to be on the bike. I'd rather pilots didn't drink
in the 12 hours before a flight, but I'd rather they had a nip than
experience delerium tremens.   There isn't a scientific basis
for 0.08 -- most accidents in which alcohol was a contributing cause
(not "alcohol related," which could mean a drunk pedestrian) involve
an average BAC of over 1.6.

Yes, yes, people who drink and drive are bad.  I'm not thrilled about
training the sheeple to do the bidding of illuminated signs.  Remember
after 9/11, when paranoid passengers caused numerous swarthy types
to be ejected from planes because they exhibited "suspicious" behavior?
How about in China, where they have the equivalent of America's Most
Wanted, but the crimes are fictive and the fugees are political?
