Even if this statute is meant only to apply to cigarette machines, which would seem to be the case given all of the anti-cig stuff going on now, what good will it do?
Whoops. Sorry. Wrong context. What I should have said was "the 9th Circuit upheld a CA statute forbidding sales of *printed* material considered 'harmful to minors' from unsupervised vending machines". The publication(s) at issue are those newsprint swingers' magazines (e.g., "me and my friend want to screw you and your friend. here is a picture of us naked.").

It's still mostly the same thing. I've never seen the type of machine that you're talking about, and I don't think anyone would be dumb enough to install one in a store that is near a school, or frequented my minors. This law just does not seem like a very good idea. --- Zach Babayco zachb@netcom.com <----- finger for PGP public key http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/Park/4127
