lindsays scram bracelet started flashing

The courts in LA don't seem especially concerned abut it, but Lindsay Lohans alcohol monitor, the SCRAM ankle bracelet, started flashing while she was at Katy Perrys MTV party early Monday morning. Star says...

(Lindsay) was at Las Palmas around 1 a.m. Monday morning, June 7, when, "all of a sudden, her SCRAM ankle bracelet started flashing furiously — bright red, fast flashes — right through her boot!" an eyewitness tells Star. "I couldn't hear anything, like if there was an alarm that went off as well, but you could definitely see the flashes.
(A DUI expert says) the flashing could simply be "a technical issue," specifically that her bracelet could have been "interacting with the modem, transferring data, and not necessarily related to an alcohol level."

Well that doesn't make any sense. Why the hell would you need really bright flashing lights to transmit data? Am I supposed to move out of the way or something? Is the data fresh out of the oven, or on sale? It would be like having a siren on your email. That bitch was drunk, and we all know it.
