I should have spoke more clearly...

The article was pretty clear that the local cops did a Breathalyzer and
found his blood alcohol level at 0.13.

The article spends a great deal of time talking about how the local
police are trying to find a way to get him for drunk driving, but that
the drunk driving statute specifies "on a highway."

But the comment at the end of the article notes that the FAA indicated
his bust of the class B, and leaves a gaping wide hole when it comes to
DWI. The slant that I think they were going for is that they were trying
to imply that the FAA doesn't prosecute DWI.

Because it's media, it's all about the slant...

OK. The article said the FAA was going to cite him for busting the
Class B and that was it. Seemed to imply that there is no DWI limits
on Pilot's License.


Actually, it implies that he was not intoxicated.
