Guys
I'm suprised that this one is still running.
I see Waveydavey has the courage to neither put up or retract his allegations.
The other point, well made, is that the breath test, which was the excuse to make an arrest, as flawed. The fact that it is KNOWN to be flawed and continues to be used is completelty indefensible. Until a more reliable piece of equipment is available, then is should not be used as a screening device which can lead to arrest and caution.
Drink driving is known to be a problem. Statiscally flying, or operating, undetr the influence is not.
As for the security staff being exempt, are they not undertaking an "avaition related" task and therefore should be under the same obligations as the rest of us?
