Instapundit brought us this little noticed gem (after the NDAA passed the Senate - quietly)…
BIG BROTHER IS WATCHING YOU DRIVE: Feds Requiring ‘Black Boxes’ in All Motor Vehicles.
If you don’t like the idea, you can submit comments here.
Coupled with Progressive Insurance’s Snapshot, both the private and public sector can now monitor your driving!
Don’t you feel safer, now?
h/t Glenn Reynolds
Yet another area for which the fed gov has ZERO Constitutional authority … not that that has mattered in years.
Posted by Rev. Paul | December 28, 2012, 8:25 amI wonder if you bought a car built ‘in state’ (like Tn. or Mi.) and signed paperwork to the effect you would never drive it on federal property (or interstate hwy) you could opt out of having one?
(Just wondering aloud and over-tired! :- ) )

Posted by guffaw1952 | December 28, 2012, 5:37 pmHeh, that wasn’t where I was going with that, but yeah that too. Hope it never comes to that though.
Posted by Matt | December 28, 2012, 6:43 pmWell yeah!!
Where WERE you going?
Posted by guffaw1952 | December 28, 2012, 7:38 pmYou know, it’s reached the point where the only message or comment I want to leave with agencies, senators, and congressmen is “F*ck off.” That’s it. That’s my simple and to the point message.
