The Lindsay Lohan ankle bracelet will be an everyday accessory for LiLo for a while. According to Associated Press reports, Lohan has been ordered by a Beverly Hills Court to wear a position- and blood alcohol-tracking SCRAM bracelet (Secure Continuous Remote Alcohol Monitoring)}. It will inform the court and Lindsay Lohan’s parole officer as to her location at all times and monitor her blood alcohol level via her perspiration.

How does the ankle bracelet work on Lindsay Lohan?
The Associated Press indicates that the Lindsay Lohan SCRAM ankle bracelet has been in use by courts for a couple of years. Instead of detecting alcohol through an exhalation, the SCRAM bracelet can detect the presence of alcohol in a person’s sweat as it checks every half hour, and there is no amount of same day payday loans will get LiLo out of having to wear it. Findings are recorded and sent when the perpetrator connects to phone lines to file their daily report. If .02 blood-alcohol level or higher is detected, the authorities are alerted. At that level, all it takes are two 5-ounce drinks in an hour on an empty stomach for a 180-pound man, says Alcohol Monitoring Systems Inc. Considering Lindsay Lohan’s hard-partying ways and skinny body (plus the exercise she gets allegedly stalking Samantha Ronson and courting Indrani the photographer), it won’t take much alcohol to send the police running to LiLo.
The problem won't stop just because parents use SCRAM
Right now, SCRAM bracelets are only available in courts. They’ve been in use in every state in America except Hawaii and perpetrators use them an average of 90 days, according to the AP. All bracelets like these cost about $ 1,500. That’s certainly worth keeping naughty celebs like Lindsay Lohan, Andy Dick, Eve and Michelle Rodriguez in line, and it also gives people a better option than spending time in jail. Imagine what might happen to LiLo if she was in jail … where would she possibly get the mysterious white powder that she keeps in her shoes?
Here’s a downer – You can’t jam the SCRAM with chicken skin
The Alcohol Monitoring Systems Inc says that there have been some who tried to throw off the SCRAM scanner by stuffing chicken skin between the ankle and the bracelet. That doesn't work and if it is tampered with more than that, then the offender is thrown into jail.
