E-ZPass and Big Brother

When will people figure out what they're giving up in exchange for convenience? In this instance:

The review compared E-ZPass records with payroll records, and found that some in the unit had made fraudulent overtime claims, coming to work late, leaving early and claiming to conduct surveillances of suspect officers that they never carried out, the officials said. The captain and some supervisors were accused of failing to properly oversee those under their command.
Within 2 years of Georgia 400 installing something like the E-ZPass system there was a high-profile divorce case in which one side's attorney subpoenaed the other side's records and proved that the tale of how late he was leaving work wasn't true.
