When I read about a nightclub in Singapore installing urine analyzers in their urinals I immediately thought of several flaws. As I found out more all but two of those problems were addressed. There is no testing available for female patrons,and there is no mention of a filter of any kind. I thought there must be some kind of filter in the device that could become alcohol saturated and give false readings. The way it is set up is very clever. When the patrons enter the club they exchange their car keys for a card,the card and the analyzer (in the urinal) communicate every time the patron uses the bathroom. Once the blood alcohol level is read as above the legal limit a message flashes on a screen above the urinal,if the person ignores the message a second warning is given by the valet at the door and an alternate transportation is suggested. What more could they do...short of handcuffs?
