The fact is, we can already use black boxes to do anything from detect cell phone signals within the vehicle, to record conversations that occur in the vehicle. These applications are not currently being used, but they could be activated at any time. All the data can then be transmitted on an on-going basis by satellite to the proper authorities. This all may be necessary for national security at some point. Remember, driving is a privilage, therefore, the government has a right, better yet, an obligation to monitor your activity for the good of society. The world has changed since 911, and since then the Bush administration has been helping people to see that freedom is over rated. We are better off being safe at all costs.
