I'm pretty baseline about how detectors work etc.  Can someone explain
or mail me how the theory of it works.  (I understand the basics of 
reflections etc, is it Dopler-ish?)
What's to stop you syncing in with the Speed Detector and sending 
back info to say that you are doing 500mph?
Slower may not work because the radar would probably settle for the highest
conmtinuous speed, so why not tell it that you are absolutely hiking
along.  And when you get stopped in your 1963 1.3l ford for pulling
540mph, you need simply say "Yeah sure..."
