    - Walt does? - Dr.Vermin Sep 16, 14:14 6
      - it was inside, doesn't that signify spoilers, do we really need to keyboard spoiler each and every post -- nm - zeitgeist Sep 16, 14:17 4
        
        Sure -- especially when you're replying to a guy who just admitted he's only to a certain spot in the season - Will Hunting Sep 16, 14:40
        
        Maybe not, and I ain't mad atcha, but... - Dr.Vermin Sep 16, 14:28 1
        
        hangs my head in shame -- nm - zeitgeist Sep 16, 15:14

- It looks like that account was opened within the last few hours, using the picture from WaPo (or some other place that ran that pic). - kelly Sep 16, 14:26
Intrepid investigator discovers EZ-Pass transpoonders being tracked for more than just tolls... -- (link) - znufrii Sep 16, 13:50 34
- again, if they are using for other purposes they need to say so in their terms/agreements. - Groiny's basement Sep 16, 13:56 32
  - Yup. When they do things like this and keep it a secret it looks bad and gets people wondering what's going on. - Krusty Sep 16, 14:01 1
    - agreed -- nm - Epiphany Sep 16, 14:03
  - Sometimes I just don't get these joke nicks. -- nm - Spawn Sep 16, 14:00
  - like anyone actually reads them anyway? -- nm - znufrii Sep 16, 13:59
  - I haven't read the terms in so many years, I couldn't tell you what's in them. -- nm - loosilu Sep 16, 13:58 27
    - oh, here it is. Yes, it's in there. - loosilu Sep 16, 14:03 24
      - the article lied to us!! -- nm - Epiphany Sep 16, 14:16 14
        
        ST debunked forbes in like 90 seconds. journalism is such a joke. -- nm - amanda hk Sep 16, 14:16
        
        My EZ pass is from Maryland, maybe it is different -- nm - loosilu Sep 16, 14:16 12
        
        yeah, just went over the NY EZPass T&C, nothing in there about it that I could find. - znufrii Sep 16, 14:25 1
        
        Yup. I just read it as well and there's nothing about tracking you for traffic purposes. The article is correct. -- nm - Krusty Sep 16, 14:32
        
        Do you get charged a monthly fee or an inactivity fee? I looked into getting one but I think I saw that was the case. - kelly Sep 16, 14:25 9
        
        never been charged fees. I use it only occasionally -- nm - loosilu Sep 16, 14:29 3
        
        ps. it is SO WORTH IT when you are driving north. -- nm - loosilu Sep 16, 14:30 2
        
        I usually wind up going through Harrisburg and over Tappan Zee, picking up 95 in CT, so I bypass most fees. (TZ is $5 one-way). -- nm - kelly Sep 16, 14:31 1
        
        if you ever go around NYC, it saves tons of time, and some tolls are cheaper for EZ Pass. -- nm - loosilu Sep 16, 14:32
        
        depends on the state. PA has a fee (forget if its monthly or annually), but NY does not, so I just kept my NY tags when we moved. -- nm - znufrii Sep 16, 14:27 4
        
        just checked, it's a $3/year maintenance fee in PA -- nm - znufrii Sep 16, 14:30 3
        
        you can get an account in any state. I never lived in MD. It's worth shopping. -- nm - loosilu Sep 16, 14:31
        
        (and no mention of traffic control uses in the PA T&C either) -- nm - znufrii Sep 16, 14:31 1
        
        the thing is, you are subject to the T&C of where you are driving, not where you have an account. -- nm - loosilu Sep 16, 14:33
      - oh, *snap* - znufrii Sep 16, 14:12 8
        
        how do you pronounce that inside word? - Epiphany Sep 16, 14:17 3

        yup -- nm - znufrii Sep 16, 14:27
        
        I like it. -- nm - Epiphany Sep 16, 14:22
        
        *seals up ez pass before I go on a 22 minute drive encircleing all of Manhattan* -- nm - peglegpete Sep 16, 14:14 3
        
        better also turn off your smart phone. -- nm - loosilu Sep 16, 14:23 1
        
        And camouflage your car. - Krusty Sep 16, 14:27
        
        so instead of tin foil hats, we need lead lined wallets...actually i think we do.... - zeitgeist Sep 16, 14:21
