A number of papers have shown that there is a restriction on this energy density which is called a quantum inequality (QI). A QI is the lower bound to the "weighted average" of the energy density at a given point integrated over a time dependent sampling function. In this paper we give an example of a sampling function for which there is no QI.Corrected typo in Eq. 2.5Quantum PhysicsA short remark on negative energy densities and quantum inequalitiestext
