Then - you'll come up with basically nothing on the REAL test (as with ALL of these tests there is a built in buffer for error) and you would have nothing to worry about.

So the argument of food/medicine/ethanol leaks would not be necessary, and sure it would be inconvenient for the very rare amounts of times you had to go to the station to justify your 0.01 (or lower) breath test.

But for the majority of cases (which is how the law works) then it would work quite fine.
There was a time when speed detection devices were not accurate enough to detect if you were 3km/h over the speed limit.......

I am surprised at the "majority of cases" attitude. Stuff everyone who does not fit into your perfect world?

You think 0, the majority of the rest of the world do not agree so using your own logic your limit is wrong.
