Topic: Lead Foil

A presentation from a security conference demonstrated that E-ZPass tags are being read by sensors throughout New York City, not just at toll booths, to track vehicle movement. While officials claim this is for traffic flow analysis, privacy advocates view it as "slave tracking." The hosts suggest using lead foil or a Faraday cage to block the signal when not in use.

The TSA's weekly activity report is reviewed, noting the seizure of 17 firearms and various "artfully concealed" items. A hypothetical practical joke is described involving the use of lead foil cut into the shape of a revolver and hidden in a book. The hosts warn that such actions would likely lead to legal trouble and loss of freedom.
