# If you live in a big city you will find that there is an interesting
# proliferation of cameras pointed at the freeway. Do you know what they
# are, what they can do, and what is their potential for abuse?
#
# The System is called the Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) and you
# may find it everywhere on the net. The cameras are linked to a city
# control room, who are supposed to use them to improve traffic flow. The
# cameras are "uplinked" to the net, to satellites, and I suppose to the
# United States Transportation Command at Scott AFB or some other
# centralized information storage base. Software is being harmonized so that
# on the net you may find many countries adopting a GLOBAL ITS. The toys
# being developed by the various planners including MIT will be able to
# track your travel, monitor your vehicle emissions, determine if you have
# been drinking, and even issue you speeding tickets by mail! "Smart" cards
# may be used to automatically track individual people and deduct tolls or
# bus fares.
