What they need is the Booz-Barometer! Put one of these things on the dash and hook it up to the fuel pump: problem solved!

I do not think a brethalizer would be effective. I usually brush my teeth right before I leave for work in the morning, and the mouthwash would leave me registering as a drunk. It would be a good excuse for being late to work though.

Why not use an already acceptable standard, such as WEP?

You just enter a 128bit WEP key to get the car started! Surely everyone can commit "4a5a765749457d385b233f4e5c" to memory and quickly type it in with an armfull of takeaway.

Cisco/Linksys would make a fortune off of this.

I can't wait until they get sued because of an emergency situation and someone dies because another person couldn't get the car started.
