"A new handheld device about the size of a USB drive can test for roofies and other drugs in your drinks [via Vocativ]. The oddly named &amp;quot;Pd.id&amp;quot; will even text you the results of a quick drug test from your Solo cup.  &amp;quot;The sheer number of affected women that have approached me to tell me their own stories is what inspired the development of the Pd.id,&amp;quot; creator David Wilson says in a video on his Indiegogo page, where he is raising money to produce the device. Wilson&amp;#039;s video claims as many as 25 percent of sexual assaults involve date rape drugs (but I couldn&amp;#039;t confirm this stat).  Using technology already employed by the DEA, the battery-powered device needs to be dipped briefly into a drink to get a sample. It runs a series of tests and will light up if your drink has been tampered with. Wilson and his team hope to have the device out by April. Follow Frank on Twitter.
