Since then we have been trying to get a law passed for Ignition Interlock Devices in every car. &amp;nbsp;State Assemblyman Felix Ortiz has been working with us and there is a bill in the NYS assembly which we are hoping will become a law some day. My husband and I also hoped that the law would be named Christopher's Law, similar to Megan's Law and our son would have died for something.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;We always believed that the technology could advance to more than blowing into a device but rather detecting blood alcohol levels through the skin; for example through a steering wheel. &amp;nbsp;This shouldn't be too difficult; the technology is already there with bracelets that detect blood alcohol levels through the skin.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;More information about this can be found at our blog and our website. &amp;nbsp;chrishaack.blogspot.com and www.chrishaack.com&lt;br&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
