  Faith in vaccination

  One may bask at the warm fire of faith or choose to live in the bleak
  uncertainty of reason - but one cannot have both.

  I suspect you missed the point in his Nobel acceptance speech. It's in the summary at the end; any injection of foreign protein DIRECTLY into the bloodstream is dangerous and possibly fatal. The immune system's reaction he named 'Anaphylactic Shock'. The shock is a reaction to the protein. You don't get to decide if or how the immune system reacts. How does Autism fit in; the foreign protein is an invader and the 'species' must protect itself. Autism MAY be one result. Currently, no one knows, but I hope we find it sooner rather than later.

  I made that comment from memory. As I recall it happened in the 60s or 70s as a 'Safety' requirement. Anybody can correct me, please. (I did an internet search as well & cannot find it either)

  Our U.S. Government REQUIRES radios in cars. Why should any U.S. citizen pay the music industry anything?

  So, can we agree that when 'powered off' and stored
  in bag/cage, it cannot communicate, or drain the battery?

  The real secret(s) IMHO would be in the antenna. Bigger is better. Suppose it was located in that big advertising sign on the side of the highway? The size would reduce power requirements, therefore reducing interference. Nobody uses advertising signs for dual purposes, right?

  I stand correct, thanks.
  
  However, these are known / public performance parameters.
  The government / NSA would probably have better performance with their SECRET hardware.

  Cell phone ID / tracking

  All that is needed, is a VERY small RFID chip to the phone.
  No power, no battery is necessary.
