Free Toll Payment for Foreign Diplomats

The recent un-diplomatic complaints from London’s Mayor concerning the U.S. Embassy in London’s refusal to pay taxes from which diplomats are exempt gave me an idea. The United States should exempt foreign diplomats in the United States from tolls. We should give them all free EZ Passes attached to their license plates. It would make them a lot easier to track. The State Department should probably start embedding an RFID tag in their tax-exempt cards, too.


Of course, they may already be embedding RFID tags in the license plates. The automated toll gates could easily be connected to a shadow tracking system. You could find out for yourself with an RFID reader, but you'd probably have more fun with an RFID reader/writer after you figure out who uses field-programmable RFID chips.
