Salamone, according to Castor, had a blood-alcohol content
of 0.15 percent, "with valium." That's nearly twice the
legal 0.08-percent limit to drive a motor vehicle in
Pennsylvania. The legal blood-alcohol limit for pilots is
0.04 percent, according to Federal Aviation Administration
officials.

Adding the valium is a nice touch, even if it is rather cliche. But to be
fair to the guy, the Pennsylvania limit was *NOT* 0.08 at the time of this
incident. The law went into effect on February 1st. Of course, he was also
well past the old limit of 0.10.


That is not correct as far as I know. The .08 limit went into effect
late last year. There are a number of other provisions of the same
law that went into effect on Feb 1st.
