"That's a big, active (meaning battery powered) RFID on your windshield, not on a metal surface."

This is big?

"On some vehicles it has to be mounted on the outside of the windshield because of metal oxides in the glass."

If a windshield contains metal components, request a I-PASS License Plate Tag (LPT).

Funny how government can think of everything!

Ok, maybe I was just too fixated on the "sticker" part of the following quote...

A Texas legislator has filed a bill that would, in part, call for the state to replace vehicle inspection stickers with radio frequency identification (RFID) tags, otherwise known as transponders.

Those active RFIDs that you've pictured are relatively large compared to the sticker type passive RFIDs I'm thinking of.

Also, the active RFIDs cost in the 30$~50$ range vs. 50 cents for the passive. Granted, no price is too high for Government when they are paying with other peoples money.
