Remarkable guys.  If the Washington Post is right (5/7, C3), I-95, I-70, I-83
in Maryland, and the Baltimore beltway will become...er...uh, somewhat slower. 
It seems a new crackdown went into effect today on speeders.  Maryland State
Troopers will be driving in 5-10 mile segments, 4 cruisers across at 55 in an
attempt to reduce the average speed of traffic.  Seems somebody noticed that
large numbers of troopers were being passed on the highway.

Of additional interest, trucks and foreign cars (unmarked with State Police
plates and manned by uniformed troopers) will be employed at roadside radar
checkpoints.  "We want motorists to think any disabled vehicle along the
road could be a trooper using radar" (attributed to police spokesman Bill 
Tower.)

I guess flashing hi-beams would be pointless.    :-)
