Perry is an extremely dangerous person when it comes to our ability go from Point A to Point B, with any degree of privacy.

Yes. The privacy issues surrounding these tollbooths around the state is also something that troubles me.  Why is it that the toll authorities are so admadent about identifying people using tolltags?

They require that tolltag purchasers be identified and that they be tagged to a specific automobile. I find it to be extremely interesting that it is not possible to simply go to a 7-11 and buy one. What should the toll authority care as long as it gets its money?

If it runs out and the user doesn't put more money on it, they can always send out tickets the same way they do now for people who don't have one.

I've always thought the tollway authorities were a bit big brotherish for my taste.

You points are excellent. They also want SS numbers, and I have yet to find out about any privacy protections.

Heck, I was in Singapore a while ago, and they even let you buy toll tags anonymously.
