A massive invasion of privacy. This rfid stuff is the perfect tool for any dictator. No one in a free sociery should tolerate this or any lame excuse from a bureaucrat about how it will "only" be used.

I can't believe america has come to this. Next thing is a chip in your forehead. All voluntary, of course (at first).

""Our goal in this equipment is to tell how long it's gonna take to get from point A to point B. That's the intent. We intend to serve the public, not track 'em down," Homan says."

At least not YET, anyway...

Some of the readers even blend right in with existing signs and lights and they read the E-PASS transponder that's already in your car.

Not to sound stupid, but I was unaware that my car has any transponder. How do we find out?

They could photograph and computer interpret license tags, too, if they wanted. Since tags display to the general public, there would be no privacy law violation in that. The only thing about the e-pass is that it's cheaper.

any and all damages, actual or perceived, incurred by User as a
result of any such third party action or third party use of information
obtained from such detection.

After this has been ongoing, for a while, they will have proof that the transponders can help save "THE CHILDREN", by electronically catching speeders,whom "will only be sent a warning",in the mail.

Florida will make it mandatory for ALL vehicles to be equipped with a transponder.

Then, they will decide, the second time someone's transponder is caught speeding will be a fineable offence.

The conversation about our intrusive government continues here today.
