As Scott reported earlier this morning, rehab hopping starlet LINDSAY LOHAN is in the soup again, allegedly busted for yet another DUI, with a bag o’ blow in her pocket, while chasing a frightened woman in her SUV. WOWZER!
And even better, while she blew a 0.12 on the breathalizer, her alcohol monitoring bracelet was still firmly attached to her ankle—which is leading many to ask “What are these things,” and “Do they work… AT ALL?”
Here’s what ABC news says about the bracelet Lohan was wearing:

The 8-ounce bracelet tracks the user’s alcohol level through a process called “transdermal alcohol testing,” which essentially takes samples from the hard-to-see layer of sweat that is on everyone’s skin.

“It will detect just about any level of drinking event,” says Kathleen Brown, spokesperson for Secure Continuous Remote Alcohol Monitor (SCRAM), which makes the bracelet. “But we will not confirm any event until it reaches a 0.02 blood alcohol content.”

To repeat, she blew a 0.12. So to answer your question, “Do these things work?” Well… TMZ.com may have the answer.

TMZ contacted a rep from the company that monitors the SCRAM bracelet who said, “I didn’t even know she was arrested.”

Yeah, thought so. But even if it is a piece of crap, you have to admit it’s still a sweet accessory!
