They also track you if you drive a new car.

They can also track you wish EZ-Pass from what I heard on the radio IF they put transponders on the side of the road, but then what cell phone or credit card, or other GPS enabled device doesn't let someone do this?
Why do we need GPS chips in these devices? If it's just so that they can be located if stolen, then fine..... but you know that cell phones already have this technology and guess what, 911 can't even use it most of the time.

George Orwell did not know it when he wrote 1984, but he was not writing a work of fiction so much as he was accurately predicting the future.
The problem is that we lose our freedoms one small step at a time (for the common good and/or for the sake of convenience) and then we suddenly wake up and, too late and to our horror, Big Brother is here.
