There is actual legal precedent where they can't do these kinds of calculations. Because they can't prove that you didn't take a shortcut, that some helicopter didn't come down and pick up your vehicle and fly you at high speed, etc.... I don't know if this legal precedent is applicable in all cases or in all states, but it is at least a consideration. Certainly, there is a lot of risk of RFID tracking, whether that's in a credit card in your wallet, in your passport, or a sticker on your car. Few people in this world give sufficient credit to that risk. -- Brad Knowles <bradknow...@shub-internet.org> LinkedIn Profile: <http://tinyurl.com/y8kpxu> _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lopsa.org http://lopsa.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/discuss This list provided by the League of Professional System Administrators http://lopsa.org/
