About 4,000 people, nationwide, have been ordered to wear ankle bracelets that sniff their sweat for alcohol about once an hour and report the results to authorities daily through the internet. Mechanical monitoring is convenient and aimed at people who have already been convicted of DUI. South Dakota's Attorney General declared that we're "doing it to people who have demonstrated pretty convincingly that they are a safety risk to the rest of us." Sweat sniffing bracelets have yet to raise widespread privacy concerns, according to The Sentencing Project, because they're reserved for drunk drivers who are a safety risk.
