- A certain well known make of American Car has a "feature":
-
- Passive Keyless Entry
- It seems that the key fob is "bugged", so the car knows when it is
- near, and unlocks.
-
- Now is it just me, or will the "magic code(s)" _rapidly_ become public knowledge
- (at least for certain segments of the "public"...)?
-
- I guess there will be a quasi conventional keylock inside. I hope so.
