Look for general tracking to appear everywhere. Fast declining gasoline tax revenues will be replaced with per-mile usage fees, i.e., every major road becomes a toll road. Most likely first in will be California and/or Oregon. The relationship to this list may then be thin excepting that the collection and handling of such data remains of substantial interest. Of course, everyone who carries a cell phone has already decided that convenience trumps security, at least the kind of security that says "they can't misuse what they ain't got." --dan --------------------------------------------------------------------- The Cryptography Mailing List Unsubscribe by sending "unsubscribe cryptography" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
