Interesting Podcast about Breathalyzers

I came across a pretty interesting podcast about how breath testing machines work.  The podcast is about a half hour long and describes the (complicated) science behind how different breath testing devices work.  I found it quite interesting. 

Most of the law enforcment agencies in Idaho including the Ada County Sheriff, Boise Police, Meridian Police, Garden City and the Idaho State Police use either the Intoxilyzer 5000 or the Lifeloc FC20.  So as you listen to the podcast, be aware that if you took a breath test a a jail or police station, the machine you tested on was an Intoxilyzer 5000 and if your test was done in the back of a patrol car is was probably a Lifeloc device.

Interesting Podcast. I have never been given the breathalyzer so I feel I'm new to the subject. Hopefully we can keep up with the latest technology to keep results reliable.
