[	Much about automatic tool billing and how it can be used to track 
vehicles deleted.}

	The MTA (the people who 'run' the toll roads about Houston) have an 
automatic payment system in place that use transponders mounted on 
windshields.  Most people who have these don't know it, but they have 
pickups for these little devices all over the freeway system, not just 
at the toll booths.

then they have the lobes to ask you to volunteer to put one of these 
things on your car.  What boggles the mind, is that people do...
