I suspect the company is hoping for the "any publicity is good publicity" model here... 'cause there ain't no way they're going to be able to deny this reasonable request. What they should be doing is asking for clear safeguards to protect them should the professor doing the analysis share any of the ideas that he sees in the code.
Oh, and Sever... my 7th and 8th grade English professor told us it was an automatic Failure if we ever committed that particular grammatical error in a paper we submitted. Didn't matter what else was going on... you mess that one up, you're done ![]()

Pay attention folks, this is a hole in the DUI laws big enough to drive a truck through. And remember, if you see someone wearing a MADD t-shirt, punch them in the face for me. Tell the judge your pal Timber told you to do it.

While trying to figure out how many cities/states use this device, I found some good reading. This site from the Law Office of David Allan Darby in Arizona, gives a brief description of how the Intoxilyzer 5000 works, or doesn't work...
If this company's software is analyzed & significant bugs are found, every conviction based on this device is suddenly open for appeal. That kind of press could put them out of business. And any programmer will tell you that every application has bugs...

More wood for the fire (sorry I don't have a link to the article):
All four of the Seminole County, Fla. (suburban Orlando), judges who hear drunk-driving cases have routinely tossed out all challenged breath-alcohol readings since January (a total of more than 700), according to a September Orlando Sentinel story, because the judges believe the defendants should be given access to the machines' computer code. (Without the readings as evidence, about half the DUI defendants go free.) The Florida Department of Law Enforcement says the machines are accurate and that, anyway, manufacturers protect the codes as trade secrets. [Orlando Sentinel, 9-9-05]

What about the BAC? You mean their are people in jail because of source code, with no BAC to back it up?
Drive on federal ground? Drive in Germany? You will give blood for a BAC!
