With all the yack about bar code reading, I remember in an old edition of Elementary Electronics *several* years ago, that the reason California was testing the reflective license plates out, was that there was a device being tested to read them from a distance... (read: your local sherrif or john law) on the fly.. Of course, we could always do something funny like put a plastic cover on the plate, that filters out IR.. would'nt that stop the IR trace?? Plus a little mud, for the opto scanners... :-) mix the mud as follows.. a couple parts dirt, and a couple of epoxy! :-) :-)
