RANDOM DISTRIBUTION OF GPS JAMMERS

If GPS tracking technology is used to track every person's movement, I can see an explosion of libertarian and criminal employment of GPS jamming technology. Revenue porkers at every level will do for GPS what anti-satellite weapons have done to low earth orbit and start making significant impacts on your ability to use GPS in your phone, car and daily life.

Government. Chipping away at one good thing after another. For you.

Makes sense. Dopers have caused you to have to go the pharmacy counter get certain cold medicines.

The key take-away in Reynolds' article is this: "So, relax: You’re not losing your privacy. You’ve already lost your privacy!"

I loves me my OnStar but don't think for a minute I haven't considered the nefarious possibilities lurking therein... especially when it comes to monitoring my speed.

It's not the dopers, it's the government. I used to have to get a doctor's script for a horrible awful drug nobody in their right mind would take. It sucked. There was no good anything about the drug and it's poisonous to the body. After a while I needed to take more than a 10 supply overseas with me and the damned pharmacy made that impossible too saying I could come back in 10 days for my next month's pills.

Did you see the story last week about the 3 guys that set a new record for driving across the US from NYC to Santa Monica in just under 30 hours at an average speed of 99 mph? Pretty soon that will be impossible because you just know once they legally track your vehicle, they'll use the law to build in a shutdown and override that can remotely stop speeding cars. I'm surprised it hasn't already been made law like the CAFE standards.

I did see that article. And you know that OnStar has a shutdown and override mode, right? That's one of the reasons car thieves tend to avoid Cadillacs and other up-scale GM cars. And... once again... one of the reasons I like my OnStar, assuming the feature is used properly.
