quote 21:23:00
“ Cathy Gellis, a technology attorney who drives to work over the bridge every day, used to always pay in cash. She’s uncomfortable with the idea of placing a transponder in her car that could theoretically record her movements not only over the bridge, but everywhere. ”

From Golden Gate Bridge’s new cashless tollway promises convenience in exchange for privacy by Adrianne Jeffries for the Verge.

I wonder if Gellis carries a mobile phone? I can’t think of a better transpoder to legally (if not actually) track people with.

On May 27, 1937, the Golden Gate bridge, here seen under construction, opened to pedestrians. (It opened for automobile traffic the next day.) At the time, the bridge was an engineering marvel, having the longest main span of any suspension bridge, a record it held until 1964.
