#   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.
