More big brother fear mongering

E-tracking, coming to a DMV near you | Perspectives | CNET News.com

Trust federal bureaucrats to take a good idea and transform it into a frightening proposal to track Americans wherever they drive.

The U.S. Department of Transportation has been handing millions of dollars to state governments for GPS-tracking pilot projects designed to track vehicles wherever they go. So far, Washington state and Oregon have received fat federal checks to figure out how to levy these “mileage-based road user fees.”

    So what exactly is this doing in the land of the free? Well, I gotta say that I really think that term has been taken over by the establishment and turned into a big fat buzz word that has no real meaning any more.

    Don’t worry, I’m sure that they will only ever use this info for altruistic purposes. Just like the un-patriotic act.
