Don't misunderstand me; I wan't saying that the Feds should interfere with CHL regulation. I was just explaining what I remembered of how they interfered with states' laws regulating driving (or at least drinking). I think the Federal government has its fingers in too many pies already.

It's been a long time since I've had any History classes or Driver's Ed, but, IIRC, the Feds didn't make the laws, they just threatened to withhold Federal highway funds (and maybe other Federal moneys) if the states didn't adopt what they considered to be the "right" laws. I know that's why the drinking age went up to 21.
