Bingo! But in this case the hwy is a private one but what you are saying in the car as you drive is not being gathered. The phone companies have as much right to provide this data as FreeRepublic has to post just about anything they want about any of our activity here.
This is a classic "needle-in-the-haystack" matching system and maybe they will get lucky and learn something but the odds are they won't.
It's interesting that many people don't seem to think our guys are the good guys. It's like the graphic I posted above, the same people that jump up and down and say they support our military presume that the Lt. General pictured above is out to invade their "privacy" (whatever that is) and he's the bad guy. And what about all the many men and women that have been killed before and after 9/11 serving their county in secret? The ones that worked for the NSA and the CIA and other organizations and have died on a street in Iraq or right here in America or some other places around the world. What about them?
I've been a big Bush supporter for years but lately I have taken off my BushBot hat and thrown it away because of his inaction on the Mexican border. I have been negative about him but he is one of the good guys. He's my president and he's on my side. He's risked his life for me just being president and because of what he did after 9/11 for the rest of his life some moslem will be out to kill him or his family. Like I said, I have stopped actively supporting him because of one big issue and have even ridiculed him but at the end of the day he's he guy with the white hat on. I believe that, I have to believe that and it's not right of the media to make him out as some evil person.
I believe the vast majority are good guys, and trust worthy. But I also lock my house when I'm not home and take my key out of the ignition when I park. It's not because I believe everyone is out to get me. I believe that if you want to keep honest people honest, don't willing give them the opportunity to do harm.
