Also, what if it is stuff that you are against? Like cigarette ads or Mc

KID? This is hackable at the concept level. Display  ads on an LED  
screen? Great fun. Finding  color combinations that traffic cameras  
can't read...pulling  people over because their fuse blew out...oh  
this is just  a MESS waiting to happen.

Within a year, some smart kid will have figured out how to hack e-

like the new ATM e-hack kit I heard about on the news this weekend..

You know it. They could do one big hack and cause everyone on the freeway to
stop and then a choreographed dance song will flash on the license plates
