With all the yack about bar code reading, I remember in an old edition
of Elementary Electronics *several* years ago, that the reason California
was testing the reflective license plates out, was that there was a
device being tested to read them from a distance... (read: your local
sherrif or john law) on the fly..

Of course, we could always do something funny like put a plastic cover
on the plate, that filters out IR.. would'nt that stop the IR trace??

Plus a little mud, for the opto scanners...

:-)

mix the mud as follows..  a couple parts dirt, and a couple of epoxy!
