lol, silly article. A box that records a few seconds before/after a car accident isn't spying.

Hate to tell you, but if you're carrying a cell phone your location is already being tracked with precision.

pretty much only the newer smartforms (which is exactly why I have an old ass phone with no internet support)

Don't need to.

1980 = "There are no consumer electronic devices or cars spying on you, you're paranoid."

1990 = "There are no consumer electronic devices or cars spying on you, you're paranoid."

2000 = "There are no consumer electronic devices or cars spying on you, you're paranoid."

2010 = "There are no consumer electronic devices or cars spying on you, you're paranoid."

2012 = "Consumer devices and cars have been spying on you for years now, it's no big deal, what, have you got something to hide? You're an alarmist and fear monger."

Substitute "world government", "surveillance cameras", "conspiracy theory", "housing bubble", "police state", "ECHELON" as needed.
