Why couldn't the police have done the testing - onboard there and then, Then If he was under the limit, There would have being no delay, No cause for concern, And most of all no embarrasment of everyone deplaning at the F/O expense??

I have never understood why the police cannot give a full result at the roadside, Or in this situation on an Aircraft.

Without arresting someone, Taking them to the station and then doing the same test again, Can't they do all this away from the station??

There is not much travelling time before they get to the station anyway.

I have never understood this - Mind you I have never understood the police!!

There a law to themselves!!
