comment on Germany's system. If they have something relevant to offer us, it would take in depth studies to figure out what it is. Discussion of whether thier system is better simply doesn't address the comparison of our present system with one requiring every vehicle to be DD equipped. ...... Cars are not homes. In this country, we decdided from the beginning that our homes are sacred. We have "rights" with regards to our homes. Cars are different. We have little to no "rights" regarding our cars. We do not have the "right" to drive them, only the "privledge". ... I hear your fears, in your comparison to child/sex abuse, but the comparison is just not as simple as you portray. And I would argue that the governments invasion of our privacy is much greater under our current DD system than it would be by simply equipping every car. ... You are absolutely right in yourTSA comment. That mess was to help convince us we were in danger, so that we'd stay afraid and out of the way.
