Drunks Outwitted Again

9:10 AM -- These are slow days for Texas law enforcement officials, to judge from this Reuters story:

Texas has begun sending undercover agents into bars to arrest drinkers for being drunk, a spokeswoman for the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission said on Wednesday.

The first sting operation was conducted recently in a Dallas suburb where agents infiltrated 36 bars and arrested 30 people for public intoxication, said the commission's Carolyn Beck.

A diabolically crafty sting operation, but still: 30 drunks in 36 bars? Not much of a ratio, Texas.
