Yess, and that's exactly why I'll NEVER have an I-PASS!
Yendor, have you been on the Tri-State lately? If you have , perhaps you've noticed those little towers placed along the side of the road? You know, the ones with the two or three solar panels and...an I-Pass sensor?
The "authority" claims that they only use them to track travel times for use by Shadow Traffic and other reporting services.
Yeah!
Right!
The way they do that is by identifying a transponder traveling past a tower, then identifying the same transponder traveling past another tower and deriving speed from the time difference. And you know that the transponders are associated with exactly one license plate.
Of course I trust the Illinois Toll Highway Authority! I trusted them almost thirty years ago when they promised to have the bonds paid off by 1975, too....
