    Don't worry about being tracked. If you want to mask your car you can keep a small, fluctuating elecrto-magnet in your trunk. Maybe even running a variable current through your can will help.

    Relax guys, there are bigger matters that deserve attention. For example the Redskins' cheerleaders. Carla went to my highschool!
