        and, if you add the biochip (with a low power spread spectrum 
    which your vehicle picks up, the can monitor your blood pressure,
    urine level, colon blockage and gas level, your driving hostility,
    and, of course, your blood alcohol and dope level plus positive ID
    the driver and passengers. One presumes the system is smart 
    enough to discrimate age and other factors to separate the

-.Did y'all see the NBC (I think, got this from a friend) ad for the new

-.immediately, and can determine all car statuses such as  whether the engine
-.is on (and the monitor can kill that), how much gas  is in the car, whether
-.the windows are up, roof up, everything  basically.  So if they want to
-.detain somebody, they turn off the  engine, put the windows up, lock the

-.there, see).

-.BTW, this is a reality now.  This was an ad for a current service. This
-.apparently is part of the reason why all cars now are moving in the 
-.direction of more electronic features, all of which can be put under 
-.centralized control.
