Legislature considers drunken flying law

As I recall, there is a federal criminal statute against drunk
operation applicable to transportation workers. Issue before the
court was the fact that they were drunk under Florida's law, but not
under the higher BAC standard in fed law. Thus principally an equal
protection problem, not federal preemption, but with no fed criminal
law against Part 91 drunks, this case is irrelevant here.
