Scott, are you ok comrade? This post shows signs of mental illness. The
government would never mis-use data like that.... *snort*
BTW, I've heard, but not confirmed that the battery has to be removed to
fully defeat it.

message when you drive into the vicinity of certain businesses....

Deliberately. They could already find these people if they want (for
instance, if they have a cell phone in their name, they also have a
billing address, which could be subpoena'd). They'd rather not find
them and then use them as an excuse for the next round of Orwellian
legislation.

Even if I were to believe that, incompence means they are SURE to misuse
it.
