BIKE: Texas Considers Putting RFID Tags in All Cars

[Jay]

I read this on Slashdot.org anyone else heard anything about it?

 "In section 601.507 of Texas HB 2893, the Texas Legislature is considering replacing all vehicle inspection stickers with RFID tags. The legislation also makes provision for the government to use the devices for insurance enforcement. The bill contains limited privacy provisions, but does not seem to exclude other law enforcement usage."
