Fun With Asymmetric Venn Diagrams

The consensus seems to be that the device failed. TMZ asks “Is the SCRAM a Sham?” and the LAT sarcastically declares “Yeah hey, that SCRAM bracelet worked really well, didn’t it.”

But Radar has learned that the device registered Lindsay’s drinking exactly as it was supposed to. “We’re very confident that it was working properly,” says SCRAM spokesperson Kathleen Brown. “In fact there are a number of diagnostics that ensure it.” But even though the bracelet registered the actress’s drinking, it isn’t designed to transmit that information on the spot. Instead it works in tandem with a modem, which is placed in Lohan’s home. Meaning Linds could have attend the binge drinking party of the century, but as long as she stayed far enough away from the modem, the proper authorities would be none the wiser until (and if) she stumbled home.

Who are these proper authorities? They’re whoever Lindsay and her representatives wanted them to be

Ahhhh, technology: So amazingly intricate on the inside, and yet so vulnerable to simple human fraud on the outside.
