[urq] Run from Big Brother!

[urq]

... big brother's been around for a while now ... most cars have a "black
box" that keeps track of what you are doing in your car ... supposedly so
they can collect information to investigate an accident.  There are
advantages ... I'm sure everyone's seen the commercial for OnStar where the
police were called because the airbag was deployed ... and they know where
you are thanks to GPS.  If you could only trust big bro to be benign ...
there's just so much information to be mined ... 

Of course it isn't just equipment built into your car ... do you walk around
with your cell phone turned on?

makes me want to keep old cars forever - newer cars seem to start sneaking
in big brother stuff already.  I can only imagine how OnStar could be turned
"against" you as it is....what's next/coming??!?!?!
