EZPass The Border
from the just-zip-on-through dept
While RFID-based toll collection tags (EZPass, FastPass, SunPass, I-PASS, why-haven't-these-been-standardized-PASS?, etc.) are becoming common in the US, it looks like some government officials are wondering if the same technology can be useful for border crossings. The idea actually sounds similar to the "trusted traveler" or whatever it was called program that would let certain people who proved themselves as "safe" cut security lines at airports. Drivers would still need to stop, but the RFID system would record who they are and when they're crossing, as well as let the border agents know not to spend too much time checking them out. It's not hard to see how this sort of system could be easily abused. "Get across the border free" cards stolen (or bought) from "safer" travelers will suddenly become a valuable currency among those who wish to get across the border illegally.

Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.

But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.

Re: trusted travelers
I too am in agreement with this form of " authenticating " valid travelers.
Can we expand on this a wee bit though ?
How about we also " chip " each and every wetback down in Tacoland so we can appropriately " zap " them when they don't get back up over the border in time to mow our lawns or wipe the shit off our toilets ?
I mean, if we are going to spend zillions of dollars on a Mexican EZPAZZ system, I want some real benefits out of my tax dollars ! I want it EZ for my Rosario to get my kids off to school, wash my laundry & still get her ass back over the border in time to do it for her family as well.
Just think ... If Juan calls me a " Puta " for making him wax my Mercedes outside in 102degree heat, I can just pull out my little key-fob & zap his ass back to complacency ...
How about we just " grease " the hands of a few border patrol agents for an EZGASS Mexican " Get out of America Free " card ?
