Just when you thought you heard the worst example of federal waste.. along comes another ...

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) has awarded more than $400,000 to a research project involving underwear that can detect when a person smokes cigarettes.

The University of Alabama has received two grants totaling $402,721 for the project, which so far has produced a “very early prototype” of the monitoring system, which — in its current state — fits like a vest.

The goal of the three-year study is to “develop a wearable sensor system comprised of a breathing sensor integrated into conventional underwear.”

“We are trying to eliminate the need for self-report from people about how much they smoke, when they smoke, how many puffs they take from the cigarette,” he said.

to what end...

what good will this really do?

will it tell US if Obama really quit smoking... cause asking him for an honest answer isn't possible?

sad fact is no one really cares....

I believe that I can shine some light on the validity of this study. I too thought this was a waste of tax payer money until I thought about it. Just going off of the behavior of liberals on this site, most are liars so I can see the need to have some other form of verification for medical studies. Then when you consider that most liberals talk out of their a$$, the underwear totally makes sense.
